If you've driven nothing but Honda Civics in your life, you don't know what it's like to drive a Porsche. So yes, I'd say that is true.
But maybe the honda guy has owned 20 different models over decades and can rebuild them in his sleep...and his custom work on the car let's him whip Porsches asses weekly at autocross too.
Meanwhile the Porsche guy only ever drives it on public roads, pays the dealer for 100% of his service since he doesn't know how to access the engine, and doesn't know what a clutch pedal is, and he ABSOLUTELY paid $10,000 more for the PCCB brake option that does him
literally no good of any kind ever because the dealer told him IT WAS EXPENSIVE SO IT MUST BE BETTER...and more than you can afford kid, PORSCHE!
So no- spending more doesn't inherently mean you know
jack or *sugar* about the thing you bought.
Even on the bottom end of home stereo equipment "spent more" doesn't mean "better" automatically...(see also anything that says Bose on it
)... I can give you examples of $50-100 speakers that sound better than lots of $200-300 speakers.
And $500 a pair speakers that sound better than some $2500 a pair speakers.
And every step up the chain.

If anything, spending money on expensive audio equipment should demonstrate a certain appreciation for high quality audio reproduction, rather than an "uneducated opinion" as the previous poster wrote.
It doesn't though.
The only thing it demonstrates is you spent more money.
For all we know you walked into a super high end custom audio place, after getting out of your Porsche, and just said "I have an unlimited budget- I want the best!"
And the salesman sold you the highest price/highest commission stuff in the store, not necessarily the best stuff in the store.
And now has his own Porsche thanks to you!
