There appears to be much more supply of high end product than any possible market for it. To prove this, I pulled a Stereophile issue from roughly 10 years ago and then researched some of the manufactures to see if they were still in business. Many were not going concerns. I don’t understand how so much new capital is being allocated to such a small market with seemingly endless new offerings. What market research is showing enough scale to the audiophile market to justify this?
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?
