In Reply to: Numbers don't appear to add up at least to me, opinions welcome. Total sales of High-End audio products... posted by cfb on July 2, 2011 at 10:49:05:
As was stated before the numbers are largely conjecture since there are so many variables like small one owner companies that don't have to report anything to anyone except the bank that gave them any loans and the IRS. However, I strongly believe the brick and mortar stores will always be around, albeit in smaller numbers. The reason I believe this is because of lunatics like us who want to hear, see, feel the things we buy that are near and dear to our hearts.
To a large extent the people who buy their equpment online seem to be the sort of people who want to buy "cool" things. I say let them. If a high gee whiz factor is important to them let them fool themselves into thinking they have bought something worth buying. Those people have always been and will always be around.
I don't really care what the actual numbers are as long as high quality equipment manufacturers ARE atill around. We, the people who seek our and actually buy high quality will always be here. Occassionaly we might even convert someone else so they become an enthusiast.
