Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?

In a double-blind A/B test at normal listening levels most people would have a hard time distinguishing between LS50s and speakers that cost 100x as much.  They would, however, immediately be able to tell the difference between the LS50s and  laptop computer speakers.

All bets are off if the program is played at paint-peeling volume levels or the subject gets to look at the speakers.

Personally I’m not a fan of other people spending *my* money. anyway I completely understand the OP’s point, I just couldn’t help myself.

But Ted, you must be a fan of people spending money for your benefit ....  😉

Ted has a business. Manufacturing stuff. Employs people. In exchange for salary. It’s called “business”. Capitalism 101. Deal with it. Or migrate to North Korea.

The success of a business, or lack thereof, depends on whether people buy the stuff. Again, capitalism 101. If you don’t like it, migrate to North Korea. See how that works out.
