what percentage of us really knows sound

Hi,been in audio preatty much all my live,play a few instruments myself, and it is chocking to me how many people in this hobbie, because they have a few Hi end gear
think that they can discern sonic diferences,or that their system sounds amazing, when 80% of time when I' listen to those fellows system, the sound is horrible, I'm talking about systems in the upper $50000, and this people come out, talking about soundstage, inner detail, and layers of sound cascading thru a huge soundscape, another thing is that, I'thought all this audiophile people where a group of well to do business people, that had money to speare,
when the truth is that most of audiophile people are broked
and dont' have their priorities toghether, been at many many, audiophile people's house, and it is sad, people with, high end systems, and no furniture,just bought a pair of speakers, $11000 retail and an Aiwa,component has more BASS THAN this speakers, affter spending more than $2500, on cables,think someone is taking advantage of the audiophile community

The first thing I was going to say was who pissed in your cornflakes this morning but the more I read, I realized you're angry because you bought some crappy speakers & cables.

Well, that's what you get when you buy something based on what somebody else wrote in a review and/or recommended to you. Why is it somebody's fault you made this mistake? Don't you know the first rule of buying gear is trust your own ears? You're making a huge statement by saying:
my point is, most of this so call audiophile, have no clue, of what a great system should sound like
Oh, so you've been to 15 homes & they all sucked (your opinion). That makes you an expert, huh?

Well, I'll put my Optimus speakers & amp up against your system anytime. So there!
