To me, it's a little boring to read about expensive speakers/gear that I'll never be able to own or afford. I like reading about the giant killer gear and classic gear, stuff that is obtainable.....
A George Carlin analogy was his bit about teenage masturbation and who'd you think about. For some, it was a beautiful actress, or model, but for the late great George Carlin, he thought about chicks in the neighborhood. "Hey, I could get that!" He said.....that's how I think about reading about gear that could be obtainable :)
