How much longer will CDs be made?

Gs5556.
I happen to have hundreds classical & jazz CDs-and still buying the wonderful, economical box sets now available; but, the concern is "will I or anyone else with a decent playback system listen to them when the "Hi Res" reproduction becomes available?".
I have been OK with DVDs and line doublers--but having just looked at a High Def sports game in a Sony showroom on a superior large Sony flat panel TV I see a "very" significant" improvement.
I'm sure if I had that screen at home versus the previous technology there would be no question what I would use.
If there is a similar (mindbogling to me) improvement in stereo sound I'm just not sure I would ever listen to my old discs? What do you think considering our present CD sound versus a Blu Ray type improvement?

Listen to your wife. The stuff you now have is good enough. The BlueRay player will also still be able to play your Cds.

This was already done with SACD and DVD-A being the high definition audio equivalent of Blu Ray.

As we know, high def audio was a non-starter except in the very small audiophile community.

Still, SACD and DVD-A do sound better than CD, but IMO, there is significant quality in redbook CDs that can be maximized with the appropriate CD playback equipment.

The question is whether the expenditure is worthwhile, and only you can make that decision.

Cadnliz,
I notice you use a Lexicon RT-10.
How has it been for you?

I'm noticing the demise of cd already. I have years worth of cds on various website wishlists, recently I've noticed many of these cds are not available anymore. Most are somewhat obscure bands so I would expect some cut-outs, but this trend has accelerated recently.
