How large (or small) is the audiophile market?

To my knowledge, the customer base is in Asia for most of the "ultra high end" sales from us/euro brands.

I'd love to know the actual numbers of 75k speakers sold annually in the US, that and how many 100k amps. I think the absurdly high priced components must sell in the few dozens annually. 

I would think about the amount of audiophiles worldwide. The reason I say this is that I have sold a lot of high-end used gear over ebay and at least a third of it has been shipped outside the country. My VPI TNT-3 went to Australia, believe it or not. Shakti Tile to Japan! (I never heard it do a thing.) And so forth. I own Sonus Faber speakers built in Italy, and I'm sure they are purchased all over the world. Moon streamer from Canada. I purchased a used ARC phono preamp from Canada. My headphone amp is from China. And so forth. I live in the USA.

Can we please get back to discussing audio? M
