How large (or small) is the audiophile market?


Just curious, how big is the total market for audiophile hardware?  There seem to be a lot of manufactures vying for a a small pool of potential buyers.  I've read in places that as boomers age the market is shrinking.  I don't know very many young people, but none that i do know are into it.  Anyone have any idea what the total market size is?

@jetter I'm not sure what difference it makes, but I must be an old timer as well. I'm 74 years old and have been on this site since 2009; so not particularly wet behind the ears.  Unless you know @mahgister and his morals and scruples personally, how do you know he doesn't go whining to mommy for a deletion and then responds loudly.  Are you one of his enablers/apologists?  Did you have the post removed?  Do you not see the double standard, or do you have one-sided sight as well?

Unfortunately, they also say to subtract 12 years for those of us who enjoy an alcohol beverage or two.  So 79-12 equals 67.  

I better go see the doctor, I may be dead already.

 

. . . every night before I go to bed I tell my dogs, "I'll see you guys in the morning if all four of us are lucky."

        I told my dog he is in my will because it is likely he will outlive me.
