I'd recommend taking a look at "affect bias" mentioned in Thinking, Fast and Slow, pg. 103 by Daniel Kahneman (the 2002 Nobel prize winner in Economics--for decision sciences). Also, I recommend Rational Choice in an Uncertain World (1999) by Hastie and Dawes for a more "operational" viewpoint. This has a very deleterious effect in the design of any system of any size, resulting in the types of systems that we see everywhere today, i.e., an example-rich environment of consistently poor decision making...and resulting poor outcomes. It's also essential reading in the rise and fall of business organizations (business cultures all have their unique sets of spoken and unspoken heuristics and biases that vary even within their own organizations). A list of cognitive biases can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases It's a long list. A few of those have application to the present topic.

Consumers in general, especially high-end audiophiles, have not caught up with the advantages that technology has to offer. Good loudspeakers and amplifiers can deliver good sound, but merging them with dedicated digital crossovers, equalizers and amplifiers designed for those specific loudspeaker components, in their specific enclosure, can yield even better sound."
