Musing - audiophiles that new just enough to be dangerous


I remember when some friends told me they bought some cool speakers rated at a "mind blowing" 100 watts. But they were smart enough to buy a receiver (perhaps Realistic) rated at 85 watts so they could turn it all the way up and not damage the speakers. 
Any stories?

We used to have one here new just enough to be dangerous. But that's old gnus.
The one who is dangerous likes A more than B in his system, and then proclaims loudly, as truth from on high, that A *is* better than B -- always, forever, and to anyone who can hear.

That sort of baloney, spoken with authority, can send a lot of newbies down the wrong path. The more equipment I try and the more systems I hear, the more I'm convinced that what's better always depends on the system, room, source material, and -- most of all -- the listener's tastes.
