Where do audiophiles retire?

I'm headed just a little north of Dweller's spot. Maryville TN. But not for the music or the gear. Its all about the mountains and my passion for hiking, which is at least on a par with my passion for music. That said, looking out of my front window in winter and listening to Ein Alpen Symphony should just about do it. Soon my friends, soon! 18 months and counting.

Mr. Tennis, I know personally 2 people who would spend 35K on a 2 channel audio system, and I am one of the two. This audiogon community presents me with a plethora of guys who have or would spend that much or more on a 2 channel audio system. So yes, we are different from other people. We are in some ways wired just a bit differently than others, who are perfectly satisfied with a $35 boom box bought on a whim from K-mart, which they find more than adequate to play their "fuzzy warbles."
The reason for these threads is that we desire to benchmark with our pears, with respect to non-audio but still important life issues. Yes, I care what Schubert and Lowrider and others think about non audio issues. Ease up my friend, and do not discourage this type of dialogue.
