I receive daily updates from realtors to get a feel for what homes are selling for in my area. What amazes me is how the majority of people today live without music in their homes. I scroll through all of the pictures room by room and 98% or more do not have a single pair of speakers in a room. I also see beautiful home entertainment furniture with a large wide screen TV and they are listening to the speakers on the TV rather than through even a modest surround sound theater system. I cannot understand how people can live this way. You would think a home listed for $1.3 million would have one room dedicated to home theater or a music listening room. No wonder why this hobby is becoming extinct and why dealers are hanging on by a thread. I wonder why people don't listen to music? This has become quite a strange world.
Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
Imagine audio technology in 2,000 years.
Maybe your stereo is the size of a deck of cards. Speakers are invisible. Cables are not used. Active room treatment built into the walls.
Is that the end of our hobby and fascination with audio gear?
Is our identity in the big blocks of metal and wood? What happens to us?
