More people had interest in audio equipment, and more dollars were spent on it from about 1975 through 1980, or so, then any other period. Once the video boom hit in the 80s, the interest in just sitting listnening to music began to decline. The Walkman contributed, by freeing people from having to even own systems. That thread may be followed to today's zero audio system ownership among young people. Listening's done by earbuds, streaming, and/or downloads. [You may've heard of digital music files. Or, maybe not].
