theses days you can buy speakers for $100 and hook them up to your laptop that will sound as good as... well... pretty good. It's a hard sell to justify to pay 20 or 20K for a pair of speakers but not impossible...
Where are the young audiophiles?
I find it alarming that 95% of all audiophiles are seniors.According to a consultant at my local HI-FI store,young people don't seem interested in high-end equipment.They listen to music on their phone.Sooner or later, all the great neighborhood HI-FI stores will not be able to remain open. Kind of sad,don't you think?
