I think it depends on the person, and not so much the education. My parents, for example, could care less whether the audio comes from high end speakers or from the tv. It's not a matter of money, they just don't care. My brother has a pair of Klipsch towers he picked up from BB, and to him, he couldn't be happier. Myself, I'm a collector, and a perfectionist. If better sound can be had, then I want to upgrade (within a budget). That's why once I bought my first set, I studied, found out more info, and am now trying to make up for my initial rush to complete a speaker set. I believe it's just based on the person, and the initiative of that person to learn.
