It’s all about emotions. Music evokes emotions, and so the Hi-Fi, we are human… it’s not strange to me.
It reminds me of when a new model of Volkswagen Golf was released. Initially, it aroused contrasting thoughts, as its design compared to the previous one wasn’t liked, etc. But in the end, it aroused great curiosity, interest, and desire. And it became one of the most sold compact cars in Europe, and certainly not because of its price! Of course, I’m joking, this trio is much better than a Volkswagen Golf!
