Is high end audio to snooty for its own good?

I believe it is in what you see the object of listening to music is.
If you listen to music as entertainment, and nothing wrong with that, its a hobby.
If you listen to it for the purpose Bach said its for, to enlighten and edify your soul, its something else . And the very essence of that is the opposite of "snooty" .
Of course we are all a work in progress .

To me audiophiles are nerdy old guys that are a little on the weird side.  At least 95% of the ones I have met. 

I had to do a double take when I saw the Bach response.   Lol.   Bach will refine me.  Makes great music but seriously.  Really!   I just realized the kind of people that I'm responding to.   That's why I asked the snooty question in the first place. Lol. Extreme gaming is not a sport and being an audiophile is a hobby.  Live with it.  

"I just realized the kind of people I am responding to"

And what is that supposed to mean?
