What I don't understand is how the economics of this work (unless someone cares only for this hobby and nothing else in life), because if someone's amp costs 10grand, and everything you own follows the same motive (durability, made in US, prestige and whatever else is mentioned in the thread), the total value and costs of everything that someone would own (houses, cars, couple of kids...) would be more than a couple of millions, which common people surely don't have. So yeah, not exactly for the "common" people.
