Gluttony? no it's called market saturation or proliferation that leads to consolidation. See that happening now.
??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ???
I had struck me recently that there is a GLUTTONY of equipment manufacturers these days & that,if not careful,the unchecked saturation of every corner of our hobby could bring about the demise of the entire industry..
There are only so many consumers of audio reproduction equipment to go around.The younger generations,as a whole,seem uninterested in the pursuit of music reproduction in the home..Live music events are less & less about the music & more & more about the "show"being put on..
Vendors at the last hi fi show I attended recently commented on how small the crowds were compared to previous years.
Too much of anything is never a good thing in the long run...Is it possible that the unbridled ability of manufacturers to saturate the market with too many choices could be a DEATH knell to our hobby in the not to distant future?

@deep_333 lol I know the speaker in the image and it sounded worse during the demo but the person running the demo was trying to convince me that unrefined presentation to treble with a low of graininess is fidelity. And I had to look it up and found the same frequency response and thought of this looks better that that sounded. I guess the untreated space for the demo even made it worse
