An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?

Vinny- sorry, but your system probably sounds what a $2-$4k system should sound like. Your system does not or will not compete with a $10k or higher system, let alone a $100k system. 
Instead of trying to convince us of the impossible, you should stick to what you initially asked.
I know people that love music and they love their cheaper system and I also people that spent $100k that aren’t happy. 
In his hobby, just like others, you can start off small and then upgrade over time.

" 4k is pennies compared to the cables and power conditioners you elitists spend"

You are correct, it is pennies. No disrespect implied. 

At one time I had Rogers LS35As, DQ10s, and LaScalas in my living room powered by 300B/2A3 switchable amp, custom EL84 SE amp and a pair of modded Dyna70s. Mix and match. Maybe considered an "audiophile" then. Don't know- don't care.  All bought used for little over $2k. Just enjoyed playing with the stuff.

     
     Just the term "Audiophile" connotates pretension, elitism, snobbishness, condescension and a sense of superiority to me.  

     No thanks, just call me an audio/video enthusiast.

@rbstehno sorry your loss. Thats why certain audiophiles are paying over 20k just for the patricians. Guess they must be deaf
