can this fact be accurate?

on a blog I read that there are 100,000 high end audiophiles out there. not sure if the author meant worldwide or in the u.s.a. if this is true the pie must get sliced pretty thin for manufacturers. any demographic sites out there that anyone knows about?

My first reaction was the number seemed high, but this stat makes me rethink that.
I agree with the gist of Tomcy6's comment concerning the future of high end.

plus you can get a piece of paper and a short pencil stub and divide to get your percentage of the population 100,000 represents. or if challenged get a calculator. most people with some education can figure this one out in their head.

Good one Hotmailjbc. I did the calculations in my head. The answer is, a pretty freakin insignificant percentage of the population. It didn't matter whether my starting number was US population or world population.
