In a way high-end audio to seniors is what shortwave radio was to our parents. For the technical minded and interesting it was a passion. So to some extent I would expect the high-end audio becomes a much smaller segment of people. Kids grew up in the last couple of decades will probably pursue something a little bit different. But eventually as some people get money they’re more likely to start enjoying high end audio. But it is unlikely to re-game the Pinnacle it has been.
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?
