Yes, you can approach the purest degrees of audio reproduction, but the law of diminishing returns applies to anyone rationally considering the question.

By analogy, I might be able to go somewhere and pay a ridiculous amount of money for a hamburger. Some might say a hamburger is a hambuger, but I think there are those for whom a burger made of the finest Kobe beef, smeared with some zingy tomato concoction that makes my love of Heinz ketchup seem rather pedestrian, arugula rather than a bit of mere iceberg lettuce, and topped with smoked artichoke paste and a spattering of mustard made by monks who only turn out three dozen jars a year at $5000 per is, if not the cat's meow, then the cow's moo. Those people are idiots.

Perhaps you're prepared to drop 500 bucks for this hamburger; perhaps your taste buds are so finely tuned that you notice the zingy special ketchup and how it accentuates the seared Kobe ground in a way that Heinz on BBQ'd ground round just cannot.

Me? I just want a tasty burger. And while there are burgers out there that compare (to bring it back to the audio point) to the factory installed AM/FM radio in my mother's 1976 Dodge Comet, I'm NOT prepared to drop 500 dollars for a burger. I don't care if the cow ground itself and performed a swan dive onto the grill.

The pleasure I get from music is not sufficiently enhanced by $10,000 speakers to make it worth dropping $10,000 on speakers. In fact, I feel little more than pity for anyone who turns up their nose at one of my finely BBQ's burgers when they learn that I don't stock smoked artichoke paste in my kitchen.
