Did it ever occur to him that the high end companies are building gear that the broader market doesn't want? For that matter, that the audiophile community doesn't even want? Most of it becoming ever more corpulent and ugly as the prices skyrocket and the user interfaces become needlessly complex rather than more intuitive.
Is he aware of the changes in our lifestyles brought on by the revolution in mobile devices? Changes in the way that we live our lives? The high end might take a lesson from Apple, if not Bose.
No matter how caring and sensitive the gear jockey at the high end hut is, for the most part, he is selling the past. A past that ever fewer people want. The Maytag repairman of yore has become the Krell salesman of today.
