High End Audio Equipment, Status Symbol?


I was reading some other forums, about why High end audio is or is not a status symbol. I prefer it not to be or we would be having systems like the one below.

Oh, come on. The high-end has it's status symbol name brands. And we know it!!

We just don't dare mention the name brands for fear of being attacked by the hounds of hell.

Sorry, psychicanimal, but high-end ain't got nothin' to do with who you are.

Your character is what God knows you to be. And your image what others think you to be.

But then, you probably knew I was going to say that. You being psychic and all. :)
