You know you're an audiophile if--

You don't go to live concerts, sit home and listen to
few CDs and/or vinyls that sound perfect as reference for next upgrade or tube-rolling;
each of your component has a dedicated line including iPad;
you enjoy more sound than music or musicians therefore you don't need to explore yourself onto other music except your few CDs of Diana Krall.

You spend $2999.00 for a pair of speakers and tell your wife they cost well under $3000.00, and that price even included shipping.

Plus, you'll sell the old speakers for close to what the new ones cost, so the difference is really only a few dollars.

You give your old stereo components to your (grown) children so you have to buy new stuff! Because you hate the idea of them having to listen to ordinary stuff, apparently. I sleep well at night knowing I have perpetuated the hobby by infecting my son in law with Audiophilia, he's got it bad!

Alpha, one on the most insightful comments I've seen on hear.
I've done it more than once-LOL .

you renove 5 rooms in your basement.
1 worshop to do your renovation,
1 datacenter for your music server,
1 air conditioning system and filtration,
1 for your cd collection
and 1 for your listening room...
