It's Looking Like My "Theory" About These "Audiophiles" may actually be truer than I expected...

I read this comment earlier this morning under a YT video:

"A good friend which happens to be a serious audiophile, was not happy when he sat in my house and started listening to my audio setup, including my Klipsch speakers. He was very disappointed when he realized that his very expensive audio system which cost 10 times more than my system, didn't sound as a more expensive system in comparison. Klipsch speaker are among the best bang for the buck out there, and they sound great."

So, basically, this is the "same" incident I ran into but online with several people and over the same brand, basically being "insulted" for even owning them. There might be another thing going on with all this too, because this company "still" actually makes many of their Higher-end models in the USA whereas over 70-90% of Worldwide Loudspeaker / Hi-Fi Gear in general is manufactured somewhere in Asia, mostly China. A unit I recently acquired Brand New was made in the USA, in fact it was "hand-made" and hand-assembled, not even done on an Assembly-line, and I sure paid the price even for that.

In fact, I think that if you can buy or own anything that is Hand-made in the year 2025, that it's quite something fascinating and completely remarkable, considering how much of everything comes off of an assembly line these days, even things like clothing.

Super High-End Audio Gear is NOT cheap. Even one piece of equipment can cost as much as a car, if not even more! Not even kidding, the prices really do go that high, an amplifier or speaker set can easily cost six figures, even Millions!

Almost every Audiophile loves to go on a rampage that nearly every brand that is not "Audiophile Grade" is probably junk made in China, even while almost ALL the Audiophile gear IS made in China regardless, many of which even have routine defects or bad quality control.

The loser who got upset at his friend below probably got upset not only because the system sounded better, but because it was also cheaper and maybe potentially still "manufactured"in the USA, whereas the chances are his friend's more expensive sets were made in China.

Just because something is "Audiophile Grade" doesn't mean it's practical or going to sound better or be better overall, in fact a lot of these so-called "Audiophile Speakers", in fact, many of them are only "one-trick ponies" and are not meant to be played loud or only sound good in certain meticulous "positioning", they don't fill the room with sound and don't handle Metal Music or a lot of Bass really good, so what would be the point of owning them, just to say that "I can" so I can boast to others much how much money I spent on them by showing off!? No wonder these pricks are miserable and where it can even get in the way of a friendship!

I'm really not into pissing contests of sorts, that stuff gets really old and pointless in life.

I could only imagine the types of criticisms I'd get from these fools if I actually invited them into my house to see my setups. I'd never hear the end of it between choice of speaker wire, placement and everything else.

It's not just this brand I got "hounded" for owning though either, I even got "criticized" by the Anti-JBL cults too.

Even weeks, months later, they are looking for "anyone" to come out and criticize from comments left in the past.

The only reason I came to these conclusions about why these losers get so angry, is that I can't for the life of me understand why someone would get so upset over something so trivial that someone owns, I've never even in my life seen people get as upset or angry over disputes between disagreements over Cars or even Sports Teams that they don't approve of like these vipers.
