But in Germany they use it as regular taxis.
I guess it depends on the economic status of the one viewing it. Starbucks may be seen as a low-end coffee shop for a connoisseur who prefers Kopi Luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world. Mercedes Benz C-class may also be low-end to someone who owns an SLS AMG worth P20M.
I believe that this hobby of ours is limitless. There will always be something better no matter how expensive or "high end" our equipments are. For me, what matters most is the journey we go through in order to achieve the sound we want.
If we just learn to be contented and happy with what we have, we'll be in audio nirvana.

High-end audio equipment is borne out of the fact that when manufacturers’ primary consideration is for such an equipment to deliver its intended performance in the “best” possible way, in a manner where its musical delivery is (or seems) so close to the recorded musical event as possible, thereby not having any component/material compromise in any way, and thus inevitably making its cost ludicrously high (thus the term "high-end"). It is intended for a niche market: the most demanding listeners who has the ability to pay for such an equipment. Simply put, it is designed for those who wants the "best" and do not mind the price tag.
