that's a drag for you!i've heard plenty of bad PAs, and in fact, more bad than good-- but as a musician, i've also heard quite a few really great ones all over the US in clubs run by people worried as much about the music as they did the bar tallies at the end of the night.
i've also seen immensely amazing works of architectural art created by people who wore both steel toed boots, and drove pickup trucks. kind of like myself, being a carpenter. and a musician. and a user of utility drivers of the 'for-hire audio people.' odd.. i also grew up playing unamplified classical music..
perhaps you ought to get out more to different venues- maybe you'd find a PA or two that'd suit your ears on occasion- saying there's only bad PA's is like saying there's only bad music. as for your anti-utilitarian bias, that sounds like a personal problem.. it ain't what it is, it's what it DOES.. and who does it and how.
