While I am happy that you can afford a stereo system that costs more than most people's homes, many of us cannot afford much more than "boxed-wines" even though we appreciate the benefits that better quality audio products bring. Being out of work for over 2.5 years (a direct result of the recession of the late 2000's), I must enjoy my music the best I can on the lowly components that I am still able to afford. I find that it is actually more economical to attend live performances than try to find the cash to purchase high end audio products that are priced in the realm of lunacy. I find your tone offensive and your attitude condescending. Many would find it obscene that you can pay $200,000 for a pair of speakers while many in this country are unable to find work or cannot afford health insurance. It is great that you are able to have such a system, and I am not saying that you should not own it if you can afford it, but there is no need to "rub it in our faces," just go enjoy it quietly.
