High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?


This is a spin off from a meeting held by audio designers where the primary discussion was about high-end audio and how to get the younger generation interested & involved in high-end audio. One of the speakers mentioned that his son was not the least bit interested in his rig and if something was to happen to him, his son stated it all would be put up for sale on Ebay.

I thought it would be interesting to put this discussion forth to this audio community and to get opinions on the above subject. Are audiophiles a dying breed and what could rekindle this hobby for all new generations.

In regards to my statement above, I can't understand why my checking account is out of funds when I still have alot more checks left to write."

You need to write your checks all at once. That will allow you to use them all because the balance in your account won't catch up in time to declare nsf.
An audiophile never has enough money. We have to know every trick in the book.
Just heard Naim $250k Statement Amplifiers and preamp at NY Audio Show. The Naim rep claimed that the company has already sold 30 units internationally and has another 30 units on back order for new customers. I'd say the high end audio market is doing just fine...
