So why is there a hangup on how much one spends?

because opinions are like as sholes, and everybody's got one....

Couple of other reasons...

1. Jealousy

2. The test of the individual that his/her reasoning is greater than all

3. Boredom...

I agree with you. Caraudio is to the individual in a way a form of expression, one's own piece of art. But at the same time others will respect the artists based on his/her effort. $$$ alone does not make the artist. He must be truly passionate, educated and dedicated in this hobby to be respected. $$ can buy you a system, but it does not make you an audiophile.
