My two cents: These guys become ecstatic when listening to music. But you don't need those $$$ gear to become ecstatic! When listening to some Mozart pieces via a car stereo or table top radio the music can also turn you into a state of "ecstasy". On the other hand: music can sound very "goosebump inducing" impressive and real through a big bucks system, especially the more large scale music (Mahler symphonies for example). But there is also a small drawback: it is contradictory, but when the reproduction is very real the magic can be less, because you are being confronted with "bare" facts and there is no more room to "romanticize".
