Well, I'm sure plenty of people have met audiophiles (in person) but I mostly haven't, really (other than dealer staff). Met someone who reportedly has Maggies but I haven't heard them; and I once met someone with Thiels and I did hear about 10 min of music there. That was years ago and I've never run into anyone else. Plenty of computer geeks, tv big screen consumers, car freaks, wine snobs, etc out there but I don't hear doodly about music reproduction, from my little social circles.
