Does anyone else think this


I was going through the current edition of the absolute sound. They featured the best products for the year. A lot of those products are big speakers and amplifiers. I was thinking in about 20 years when most of the baby boomers are retiring or passing on that these products will wind up in landfills or be boat anchors. The generation behind us has no interest in speakers as big as a house or giant amps that take up floor space. They see these as a complete waste of space and disgusting. The few times younger people have seen my system they always comment " why do you have all that stuff, and what does it do"

Who cares? I bought my system for me to please me. I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks or if young people care about high end.
^No new market share, no more company to support previous customers, no investment in improving current SOTA.
It's a big world and audio does not necessarily revolve around the U.S.A.. There will always be a niche for the ultimate in anything. Physics dictate that some aspects of audio reproduction must be of a certain size for it to function properly. I'm not overly impressed by a Chevy Suburban, but it may be the most logical choice for my next vehicle.
The audiophile hobby attracts a different breed of cat. It's not for normal people. If you don't believe me, just go to an audio show and take a good look around.

We're also a fairly tightly knit group. Many of us have like minded friends all across the country that we keep in touch with on a regular basis.

One question .... where are the women?? See what I mean? Not for normal people.
