Somebody call homeland security, because this thread has been hijacked!

FYI, Flo its more about your tone than your speakers or your money. It's not necessarily a snob issue. Many of us have plenty of money too, but also mortgages, kids, jobs, and cars, and saving for retirement. I really like my stereo, but I'm just never going to spend more than one mortgage payment on a pair. What you accuse RGA of simply isn't that bad. Here's an example: "My 8" velodyne plays to 20hz. It is the best subwoofer ever. None of you know subwoofers. This one is different and special because it is mine." See I made a false statement, yet the world still turns.

But to your credit you have been encouraging beginning systems in the photo gallery.
