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?

Music recording and concerts are always 2 channel

Really?  Tell that to the record companies who have produced thousands of multi-track classical recordings on SACD over the last 25 years.  Don't know where to find them?  Try Presto at Presto Music | Buy classical & opera CDs, DVDs & Blu-rays online

In Australia, every new home seems to have a home theatre room just waiting for a soundbar or better.  And those that can't get into the housing market seem glued to their phones, often through decent headphones.
