Paul at PS Audio once did some math that arrived at a population of 250k. Obviously, your definition of the target for inclusion will vary, but for high end stuff that might be close.
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
Just curious, how big is the total market for audiophile hardware? There seem to be a lot of manufactures vying for a a small pool of potential buyers. I've read in places that as boomers age the market is shrinking. I don't know very many young people, but none that i do know are into it. Anyone have any idea what the total market size is?
