I am pretty amazed at the 100,000 figure, to be honest- it would not surprise me if that number was 25,000. I live in a Northern California, we have a Club, we get about 30-40 people for a big event. I'd imagine in smaller towns/area-they may not a single person into high-end audio.
a bit off topic, but somewhat related. I was reading an article about a LP release--from a major rock band, the LP was 22 in the charts, but had sold only 27,000 copies in the US. Contrast that to a recent video came release (Call of Duty?), that sold over 20,000 copies in each store. It tells me, people have other priorities than music.
