Where Coming Back

The high end store Excaliber in Alexandria closed it's doors around 1986, signaling the death of high end.

Actually, the article indicates no such thing. Quite the opposite. It's talking about getting good sound on a budget. He-looo!

Dayglow, looks good on paper. I suspect the masses just want more and more convenience and not too concerned with the sound quality except in a general kind of way. I am pretty sure there are a lot less audio stores today, not more, since Excaliber closed its doors in the 80s. Unless less is more. lol. The "vast improvement in small speakers" is probably not a good example for making your point with respect to the resurgence of High End Audio. In addition, if I can be so bold, CD players and Blu Ray players these days sound rather generic, lifeless and threadbare, at least off the shelf ones, just like they always used to. Lol. Maybe that explains the resurgence of vinyl.
