This new generation care more about how loud their system sounds, than how clean and natural it may sound. I been trying to teach some of the young people about how good hi end audio equipment sounds, but when they see the prices of most of the hi end audio equipment, they get scared and will go and buy a Bluetooth speaker or headphone instead! Hi end audio gear prices are getting out of hand and manufacturers are not helping either. They build 20 different models, instead of just a couple of good components at a reasonable price, that instead of helping the hobby is killing it!
Where are the young audiophiles?
I find it alarming that 95% of all audiophiles are seniors.According to a consultant at my local HI-FI store,young people don't seem interested in high-end equipment.They listen to music on their phone.Sooner or later, all the great neighborhood HI-FI stores will not be able to remain open. Kind of sad,don't you think?
