Edashtav will never be an "Old Man' - in the metaphorical sense. He's too aware, self-aware and intelligently relativistic for that.
He's definitely an Explorer though...
As for your comments about HIFi Salespersons... here you're out of touch (shall I put "Old Man", here? Not nice, is it?) Almost everything I bought was by a home trial, easier to get if you find equipment ex-dem or 2ndhand. So you have say, a pair of speakers in your own room, your own system for up to 2 weeks... then return if you don't get on with them. Harbeth designer Alan Shaw lent me a much-factory-abused set of Harbeth C7s to try here, as they would give me a better impression of the model I would live with than a new pair...
The medium is the message? Marshall Mcluhan, 1964. Look it up. You might find The Vagenda interesting too... (not quite what you'll expect...)
