I suppose this means that people who buy their stuff also listen to this "music", if only for the purpose of reinforcing their self-imagined places in the crowd….

I think this is the whole point: the place in the crowd is not as self-imagined as you feel but rather crated for them by the industry pimps. The industry folks do not promote a concept of buying equipment and some kind of custom objective to listen music but rather they created a completely separate and completely self-contained objective to acquire audio tools for the sake of   acquisition and maintaining the anti-short penis attitude status quo. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that but also, it is important to understand that this is not a process that has any finite definition. So, the actual performance of would it be Magico M6 or M334 is absolutely irrelevant as it will be always some kind of Mr. Harley who will scratch the itch of audio consumers or crate an itch for them. 
 
I wonder why I am getting upset with the fact that mediocre speaker costs now $200K and it looks line considered norm. Year back I was the person who spent this type of money for audio. I do not do it anymore, primary because I have different priorities in my life but personal preferences are not the factor in here. Even with a financial flamboyantness that might be exposed to audio spending the fact of the “brainless spending” is an assured recipe to listening failure. The industry pimps just have no tools to sell anything other than “consumption” tools and it is all that they are selling unfortunately. 
 
I have a good friend who is very prominent audio industry player. He specialized on dealing with very much high cost customers. When I asked him how much he enjoys to dealing with his customers he is telling me that he hate all those bottom eaters from internet including the folks at my site. He said that when he arrives to a home of a person who is willing to write easily a check for $300K-600K then he exposed to very different level of audio then I even imagine. I understand how he feels but there is an interesting catch into it. When I ask him if his exclusive audio clients are more advanced audio listeners then the some typical audio-spending bottom eaters who spend days and night at audiogon he admits that they are very much the same people. Then point that I am trying to make is that with all glory of high-end audio high prices there is no advancement of high-price itself and if a person has no external stimulation from Mr. Harleys then the whole industry of price forming would not exists. There is very little price difference between what Bose does, Magico dose or Danley does. But Magico has the trumpeting pimps whos job to convert the Magico produce into a separate distinctive value.  Get rid of the trumpeting pimps in audio and the prices for the high-end audio will go to Bose level. Furthers the audio people would discover that they have own minds and own ears to use instead of buying into some stupid audio propaganda.
