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"

Kids with advanced educations may find themselves too much in debt from loans for such frills.

Good for them for finding new workable ways to listen to music. It does not take much these days really especially if earphones suit you.

One the bright side a major breakthrough with my 14 year old daughter who loves her iPhone and shows 0 interest in my hifi. I played Michael Jackson for her on one of my setups and she took notice. Having the album art up on the big screen hdtv helped. 👌
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.
