Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?

PS
" The life of an audiophile is never easy and is almost always fraught with pain. Most of us are forced to make significant sacrifices. The road is strewn with toxic shards; we dare not venture forth shoeless. But we must never lose sight of the greater good, and with Providential guidance, we ultimately shall do what we must do. "

Our cause is often misunderstood and complete mystery to all other non audiophiles......

So true.

S-U-C-K is a four-letter word.  Feel free to apply it to the OP.

Providential guidance? Free will. Period. However, I was listening to some stuff at an audio geek friend's house last weekend (he produces and I mix a successful concert series), and I was musing about the fact that people who otherwise appreciate artistry don't do any "active" listening to great sounding audio. A mystery…I also don't understand why people don't all have motorcycles and play electric guitar.
