Where do audiophiles retire?

I'm curious if there are any places that jumpout as retirement havens for audiophiles with easy access to entertainment,shows and shops. New York makes sense if you can afford it and Denver sounds likely if you like the climate and RMAF is your thing. Thoughts?

Swampwalker, you want get outta that swamp and go to the beach?

"Shouldn't a retiring audiophile switch to headphones accordingly?"

Yes, because soundstage won't matter on headphones when you're "soaking in the view!"

@Rx8man- you bet. The swamp is where I work, not where I play.

Yes, and people downsize most everything else when they retire so why not the stereo system?

I suppose not doing so will be the ultimate test of just how hard core an audiophile we each still are when we retire.

Stare at beach? Listen to music? Probably both for me, but not necessarily concurrently.

I retire to my dedicated audio room about twice, thrice a week. I am retired and reside on 40 acres in southern Illinois adjacent to the Shawnee National Forrest. Hence the twice, thrice a week dedicated to listening. Thanks for this opportunity to expound on myself.

i was not meant to cast aspersions regarding non audio topics, but rather to suggest that people are unique in their pursuit of their hobbies.

what makes an audiophile different than a wine or art collector ?
