I believe most who are into high end audio today started with a mass market system and upgraded over time as I did. So I believe it's a good thing to encourage non-audiophiles to buy mass market components, but this is something most audiophiles don't want to hear. However, when somebody's budget is $400 it's a choice between mass market and nothing. Eventually, as their spending cababilites grow they'll be back for something better.
