  10 foot speakers, IMHO, would be fitting for a listening room full of 10 foot tall people!! 

Sound Labs Majestic 945PX speakers are nine feet tall, just saying.

I suspect only an audiophile could attribute a word like success to what seems like a very sad story of failure in my estimation. Certainly, an audio system can deliver transitory pleasure, but to consider it a great life accomplishment seems bizarre.

There's a "rule" somewhere that states "if you want expand some part of your life, it will pushback on others." I suppose we want to chime in and reveal our version of "the greater good", "a balanced life" and where to place our priorities.

Nicely said. I think the exact same impulse motivating people to read the Rorschach test that this story presents also crops up in those debates about whether audio is "only about the music" or also about "the technology and sound." The answer is, of course, subjective but people like to argue it as if there was only one, objective answer.
