In this week's online stereophile the editor bemoans the plight of "high
end",ie. price tag, audio. The boomers are no longer the buyers and
younger generations take their audio straight up, so to speak, as but one
part of several ongoing activities. The fear that audio gear will become a
commodity was raised, and it is a reality that fancy boxes as living room
set pieces have lost their appeal. Why the high cost spread when the ever
present smartphone brings in the tunes thank you.
