You've proved my point - audio IS a business

" ... the vast majority of high end manufacturers do what they do because high end is their passion and they believe fervently in what they do. These are, in the main, highly intelligent, articulate people. But most of them will be lucky to break even or eek out a meager living. ... I believe that most of the high end manufacturers I saw at CES could easily make more money in some other line of work."

RG:
They are at the CES selling their products and hope to earn profits.
Good salesmen are always passionate about their products and
believe in what they do. Sometimes this is phony and other times real. Once in a while the product IS a significant improvement over the competition, but usually not.

That audio is a tough business in which to earn high profits does not change the fact that audio is a business and the people at the CES trying to sell their products ARE businessmen.
