It seems to be a similar problem with golf. Everybody in the 90s ran around building golf courses and now a huge portion of them have failed. One of the funniest phone calls I ever got was from a guy who was the attorney for the land that a bunch of houses had for a golf course and they were going broke. The guy asked me if I could turn the golf course into a mountain bike park. I thought it was an awesome idea a lot of the homeowners weren’t so happy. It looks like that the greatest generation which they were very cool isn’t spreading around enough of the wealth to the grandkids to be able to afford to pay grounds fees and by balls and clubs. Now the whole industry is falling apart. I think audio is in a similar Situation. The young people love the staff but the best stuff is too expensive and they can’t afford it. Somethings Gotta give.
Interesting thought
Was reading a post on older men only enjoying the hobby of hifi audio and had a thought. I think part of the reason may be younger people have little to no exposure to hi end audio. So my thought is what if it was introduced to a bar setting. I’m not talking an extreme 2 channel system but a bar that advertises a higher end music system. I’m thinking it may attract some younger men and may stimulate an interest in the products.
I think with technology today a great sound system could be installed with room treatments to provide a pleasant audio experience.
Maybe this will be the birth of the hifi bar. Interest if any bar owners have a comment.
Maybe with a nice choice of bourbon.
