Electronics and home entertainment market is big. Market for bulky, inefficient, expensive things in general is not good and will only get worse. Technical advancement has changed things a lot from the golden age of hifi that peaked back in the 20th century which is already a quarter century old. Moving ahead and not backwards is the key to survival. Older people struggle with that. Younger ones take it stride just like we old codgers used to when we were young and learned to like our fancy toys of the time. Some things never change.
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?
