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

Given the above, an experienced audiophile will be able to have a $ 2k set up outperform a $10 k set up, if he can treat the room acoustically, optimize speaker placement, optimize the listening position and so on, when compared to the $10k set up installed by the average music lover.. However, the same individual will usually also be able to have the $10k set up outperform the $ 2k set up after optimizing the variables involved. The same applies when moving up the price range, baring in mind that the law of diminishing returns always applies. 

With all the auto analogies @n80 you should be selling used cheap scrapyard 70s cars instead of commenting on audio forums. Your comments are not taken seriously by anyone except the very few.

As long as someone has the audio sound mindset they can be an audiophile. Each person has their own level of audio maturity who are we to say they arent. Its only frigging audio not life threatening issues

@han_n who says they arent? Show me where it says that?
