Speaker and audio component companies are back ordered. Looks to me like stuff is selling as people stay home.
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?

I am under 40 years old. Here’s my setup, experiments and opinions on my DAC mod. https://youtu.be/yE1_gxCJH88 |
Walmart now has vinyl .Go to Best Buy and see vinyl Audio Technica and Pioneer turntables. 23 year old asks how all this works and they want buy it from there pay. I see more and more ads on tv with speakers and turntables in the background and even some.
Sometimes a young person comes over and they want to know how get started. |
Very simple answer $$$$$! The “hi-fi” industry has priced it self into this situation. Can I spend 100k on a system if I want yes! Can I justify spending more than I did on my first house for music no! On the flip side I have bought quality self powered speakers with zen blue wi-fi for my daughters. It needs to be simple or they will not use it. They were reluctant to start but over time they have come to realize the speakers on their phone suck. It is on us who love the music and this industry to introduce it to the next generation so it does not go with the dinosaurs. |
