Average age of audiophiles


Hi everyone,
I'm curious about the average age of audiophiles. One of the owner of an audio store told me that he has a lot of customers in their mid 20s that buy really high end gear. Personnally, I would think the average age is above 40. I really can't confirm since I'm the I don't know anyody else crazy enough (or passionnate) to get a sound system as expensive as a car...

Also, how old were you when you started this hobby.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm 26 years old. I got interested in this hobby when I was around 17...

Thanks everyone...

By the way, my girlfriend threathened me to break up if I was to spend 10K on audio gear... Since I don't like useless fights over goods, I listened to her and spent $28K (canadian $) on a new system... Surprisingly, she still lives with me... :-)

Does anyone have debates about audio gear with the wife (for example, when it's time to upgrade to a more expensive piece of gear or bigger speakers)? Is it a jealousy thing?
