Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier?

Sorry, this is probably a completely pointless thread but I'm just simply baffled by even the existence of such incredible products and real curious about the folks who would feel the "need" to own such a component. Are these made just for bragging rights or there actually components out there - up or down the audio signal, that demand something like this piece. I'm asking this independently from the price tag because there are a lot of very expensive things out there ranging from a gold Rolex to a Ferrari and people buy temp for various reasons. Obviously a $50K Rolex will not keep time any better than a $20 Timex. Are these made to cater to the same type of consumers?

As above- the Rolex comparison was pretty good.

... and show an equal amount of compassion and empathy in helping those less fortunate, by all means buy whatever you want.  But perhaps your acts of charity might move your spirit even more than the nth degree of electronic sophistication in your living room.

I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.... 
between the need for a gold-plated toilet seat and one made of the usual materials designed for the average derriere.  
Ripping people off for a living just to get ahead in life is incompatible with the purpose of great music- which is to inspire and uplift the listener- Not merely to show off "what you can afford".
    Yes, in the real world there ARE limits- like putting down your folk when your stomach is full.  Or lowering the volume on your 2000W/channel system when your ears start to hurt.
IOW, When is enough enough?

Pointless posts to a pointless thread. I think there is a soap opera on TV...
