I would have nothing but 2 channel the or Hi Fi audio. Surround for movies only.
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?

Agree with what's been said. Most people just don't care. I've had some non audio nuts hear my rig, and while they thought it was cool, they still choose to stream compressed media by Bluetooth to a portable speaker. People just don't care. My wife is perfectly happy blaring you tube music vids out of her phone speaker sounding like a kazoo. |
Thanks @larsman . My fervent hope is that people pay more attention to the things that actually matter most and stop allowing politicians to distract them from their own best interests. |
I've had 4 friends over the past 2 years, who after hearing my main and secondary 2 channel systems, either purchased my secondary system or asked me to find a similar system for them. 3 remain quite happy and the other has already upgraded...these systems all under $1000 MSRP and of course much less if factory refurb or used... |
