For me it is mostly that I have to be more or less "up" to deal with, tune into and listen to serious music via my hi-fi, and I am not always up for it. Having been conscious of this conundrum for some time, I have over the years taken steps to tune the sound so it will also do something acceptable at closer to background levels, when I want that. Funny, but even with the volume turned down for background levels the electricity is an audible element, and even my hi-fi-indifferent wife will complain of the sound played even at low volumes when the power is especially bad.
As far as the high-end audio idea, if by this we mean acquire certain equipment, and pay more for better sound, then this idea was stillborn. Any doubters, go to a high-end audio show. While there are certainly better and worse systems, it is personal, is it not, including situational. The car is a great example of this: sometimes I get wrapped up in music over that miserable system; other times I can barely stand the sound from Prairie Home Companion or Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me. (And this one is powered from a big battery!)
