Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Different strokes for different folks.

There is a theory going around that real audiophiles do not like remotes. Maybe most people like remotes better than good sound?

Good sound? Can you understand that you are referencing an opinion?
Good sound is a matter of opinion. Most people are quite happy with what they have.
I drive a Prius. I love it. To car people, it is a hideous, pretentious waste of plastic. They think cars have to provide an erotic experience. To me, they are just transportation and, as such, should cost me very little money, or none at all.
If you could get outside of your cripplingly narrow perspective, you would realize how nerdy and obsessive you sound. There is no good sound. If you like it, if it sounds good to you, that's all that matters. Reviews don't count, peers don't exist and prices, specifications and model numbers are not important unless misfortune dictates that you shop for a replacement.

Surely, you are aware that speaker placement for most people is dictated by decorating preferences or available space. Sonics are usually not a consideration.

Macrojack, I think Mapman's post was sarcastic humor.

Could be wrong...but I don't think so.

Whoops, i forgot to sign the post as my sarcastic alter ego "MADman", not mapman.
