@krelldog In Los Angeles and on-line, I've sold several higher end pieces to young men and couples in their late 20's and 30's. I sold an EAR 890, EAR Acute, Synergistic Research Atmosphere XL, SR cables, Bryston BIT-20, etc. all to younger people. It has been more difficult to sell currently available used high end gear even at 40% of list price. So, there are buyers but at big discounts.
More potential bad news for some big names...
