61, 25,(gap from 30 -58) ??
Casual listening ! That's what affects the new audio market for the Most part - imo
Talking with friends in hi end audio seems to be less & less interest in 2 channel
Most sales geared to & from home theater
This is from a very well established audio dealer in a very affluent area
No interest = no sales. Given the cultural
trend in music & the ability to download
today's youth is content with ear buds !
Im not sure that a good stereo system would matter with much of today's music anyway I have family members come down into my "music room" & listen to what I consider well recorded LP / CD .
Usual reaction is ok it's nice bye ! They don't want to sit & relax & HEAR the music
Too bad from our point of view , not their thing They don't care about soundstage
imaging etc.
not it enough younger people to sustain better equipment - imo. But it can be a positive if factories realize this & try to capture the younger demographic.
Competitive pricing may be in the future !!
