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?

We will be here for years to come, not worth the effort today. 

Well, Dr. Google does say that the average lifespan in the US is around 79 and in Canada around 82. . . .

@jetter I'm not sure what difference it makes, but I must be an old timer as well. I'm 74 years old and have been on this site since 2009; so not particularly wet behind the ears.  Unless you know @mahgister and his morals and scruples personally, how do you know he doesn't go whining to mommy for a deletion and then responds loudly.  Are you one of his enablers/apologists?  Did you have the post removed?  Do you not see the double standard, or do you have one-sided sight as well?

Unfortunately, they also say to subtract 12 years for those of us who enjoy an alcohol beverage or two.  So 79-12 equals 67.  

I better go see the doctor, I may be dead already.
