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?

But we all/mostly all agree that you are ruining these conversations by constantly berating people.

Gee, you’d think the moderators would have noticed such behavior. How did they miss it?  Perhaps you should alert them. Or, you could just leave @mahgister alone. He’s been a welcome presence here for a long time.

An excellent post cleeds, I wish I had written it.  @mahgister , my friendly advice would be to just not respond to them.  We will be here for years to come, not worth the effort today.

@mahgister I see you will continue to argue and fight until you have won.

 

I give up. You win. I loose.

I apologize to all and to jetter...

one of my main defect is i answer back when someone instead of arguing with reason gave insults...

My bad...

I will let them go...

 

Well, when I started this topic I thought it would be pretty harmless.  Who knew?  I was just curious about the size of this hobby...
