I love music. I really, really love music - but as much as I like hearing the music as good as it can sound, there's a limit to how much money I'm going to spend to hear it. For me that's good-quality AudioEngine, Klipsch, or Logitech speakers. For headphones, that's Ultimate Ears or Shure. With a reasonable amount of money, you can make the music sound probably 75% better than "baseline". For me, that's good enough. I really like the way music and movies sound through the equipment I have. For me it's not worth spending $10,000 to go from 75% up to 90%.
And I think the thing that some people forget is that music isn't just about how well you can hear a particular instrument - the melody, the hook of a song, comes through on an AM radio.
