Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.

IEMs, headphones, streaming by phone...if someone even listens at all.

How can we as enthusiasts in this hobby get people interested in a more traditional 2 channel stereo setup using speakers and associated gear? 

Even cheaper ChiFi sounds pretty good compared to what some of us had when we first started but it doesn't take a fortune to build nice sounding systems that work well and can be enjoyed for many years. 

What can we do to support this hobby, its gear manufacturers and promote physical media too although many may prefer streaming?  

Essentially, promoting a gateway into the hobby as well as a pathway for growth and upgrading over the long term?

Let them be. We become a nuisance doing that. Because people do not have the luxury of space to use, they don't live where that is ideal or they want the binaural nature of headphones and IEMs.

 

I have speakers and IEMs and they both serve their purposes. I didn't have the space for speakers so I didn't get any till last year when I moved into my new space. So let people be. Only thing they're truly missing out on is the psychoacoustic phenomenon of staging in front of them. But they'd trade that for no  room issues which is more than 50% of what to look out for when using speakers
