Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?

@OP - Yes. Check the demographic at hi fi shows - male and old!

Greed is the answer.  They seem to have  forgotten that you can't have an affordable flourishing market for Prorsche, Ferrari and Lexus, unless you have a flourishing market for VW, Fiat and Toyota.  Otherwise, it's all on borrowed time.

Aren't Toyota, VW and Stellantis(Fiat-Chrysler) #1, 2 &4 as far as sales worldwide? What could be more flourishing?
