Nature of the current used speaker market

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 ?

I think 7K for a pair of used 20.7 Maggies is about right.   

As to those who complain about used value, I bought a pair of McIntosh MC501 amps used 0 years ago for 6K, could sell tjem tomorrow for the same money.

It is all about choices.

FYI, I would buy the 20.7s, but am down sizing to a smaller home.  And yes, the 10.7 was a typo in my earlier post.
