What's going on with the audio market?

Recent retail sales reports are very bad and I am hearing that sales for audio equipment have been nonexistent over the past few months.  I also see more dealers putting items up for sale here and on other outlets.  Even items that have traditionally sold quickly here are expiring without being sold. 

To what would you attribute the slowdown?  Have you changed your buying habits for audio equipment and, if so, why?

Interesting responses, thanks!  So what I'm hearing (minus the political comments) is a shift in the market away from high-end dedicated two channel systems, a saturation of used gear, less disposable income and prohibitive costs are the main culprits to the current downturn. 

FWIW, I'm 48, 25, maybe 5
