Where Coming Back

Geoffkait-The Late 80's were the beginning of home theater systems for the masses not the death of hi-end-audio. HEA rebounded in the 90's with better cd playback and the acceptance(of some) with the importance of cables, vibration control and even the early stages of powerline quality. The Y2K decade brought the resurgence of vinyl and the vast improvement in smaller speakers. Currently pc audio is slowly being refined. My point is there will always be people that will search for the "best" sound regardless of the software format. Just like Rock n Roll HEA will never die!

Geoffkait-Your right there are less "brick and mortar" stores now then in the late 80's, and I do agree home theater created a small setback for 2/channel HEA. As stated before the 90's was a decade of refinement and new discoveries. I disagree that the improvement in small speakers did not help the HEA industry. Many don't have the room, finances, or WAF to accommadate a large speaker thus a high quality monitor will help keep current and attract new audiophiles.
