Anybody with $100K for speakers should spend that money attending live
performances. *That would support the music, which buying the speakers
does not.

What makes you think it's an either/or proposition? Besides you get
two very different experiences from attending concerts and listening
to stereo at home. And different individuals' situations are, well,
different. Going to concerts may not be very practical for some folks
even if they can easily afford to do so.

With that said I would certainly like to see more money donated to the
various symphonic orchestras around the USA. There is a real need
there. Attendance doesn't seem to be a major issue. Plenty of people
already going to classical concerts. Classical music is a patron art.
It can not pay for itself by the live gate alone. It doesn't even come
close.
