Nature of the current used speaker market

The lust for high end audio will never cease; when compared to "mid fi", it's no contest. On the used market, high end audio is well priced, but many people who are lusting for the equipment, just do not have the money, but the sellers are not going to give it away.

IMO the demographics for high end goods is not promising. As an avid reader of Audiogon I get the distinct impression the majority of participants are retirees. I don’t see the generations following ours as buyers of 5 foot towers or 70 lb monoblocks. When I entered the market over 50 years ago everything was big, now the opposite is true. An idle thought. 

The generation following me, is still living with me; not that I mind, but this is not what he intended.

Only those who care little about money can afford to buy something that loses equity at such a massive rate as high end audio. Thus not much interest in heavily discounted but still greatly over priced high end kit. Today most are cash strapped and 1000s in easily spent income is just not available. I have friends who sell motorcycles they say the market for anything over 4k is near gone and most want 1500-2500 used MC. With used audio I notice the same under 3k might sell over good luck.

Question is what is big now ?
