Marco, you had me laughing so hard I was rolling on the floor ;0
Since I am one of the "self-absorbed braggarts and snobs" that Gullahisland picked as illustration of his point, I feel that I have earned the right to comment.
This thread is about obsessions, which by definition is normally practised in a totally out of order, OTT manner from the perspective of a sane person. So, having a system that costs more than the GDP of a 3rd world country clearly qualifies. Having a nice sounding system costing a little more than a European luxury sedan (no names - me no snob) may not quite qualify in some ofour memebers' eyes. It depends very much on your perspective ! and the degree of your obsession !!
Knowing the typical A'goner's obessesive musical enterprise may also cross over to other areas of interest, I dare say that there isn't nearly half as many "braggarts and snobs" as Gullahisland had observed. Perhaps, from his perspective we are boastful. But, that is just his own view. However, when Gullahisland extends sweeping assumptions of other people's intentions based on a few off the cuff remarks, he is perhaps showing us a little of what he is really made of.
I shall not second guess Gullahisland's reason for his past comments in this thread. Perhaps, he simply had a bad hair day. Me, I have no hair (at least not much left), so I am cool ;-)
