There is obviously a market for ultra high end gear. I can't think of a single high end audio company who has not come out with a new top of the line product that cost at LEAST twice as much as their previous top of the line gear in the last 5-8 years. Companies that top of the line was $10K, now have top of the line products selling at $25K-$50K.

Why waste time arguing over what should or should not be?
It is what it is, deal with it.
Enjoy what you have and let other folks do likewise.

The Koenigsegg sounds better than any hifi and evidently feels great too while being a real wild animal. This is the ultimate audiophile rig. I would move anywhere to be able to drive it, but first I would have to learn serious driving, it would be worth it. And the car brakes even better than it accelerates. Quite an achievement. It goes so fast that maybe you could cross the ocean in it, straight from the East coast to Sweden.

If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen.  Just because we live in a world with Dartzeel amplifiers $102,000, Koetsu cartridges $15,000, Walker and Continuum turntables $100,000, Taralabs speaker cables $42,000, High Fidelity Cables power cords $15,000 doesn't mean you can't find some happiness with some Super Inexpensive System.  My ENTIRE system cost me a grand total of ten bucks.  Not counting tweaks.

Geoffkait,

if you put together a great sounding system for 10k I applaud you. Personally I have a lot more respect for someone that can put a great sounding system together on a budget rather than someone that just throws money at a system because they think it will sound better. 

inna,

I find the statement that you made interesting. I have read the same statement on www.ferrarichat.com. Of course referring to Ferrari's.
