It seems to be a little bit of everything. There is less exposure to new equipment with so many bricks and mortar retailers leaving the business. The cost of components and loudspeakers has increased significantly. The music industry has gone through huge changes that greatly impact how we listen. Younger listeners have embraced convenience and portability over sound quality and often don't have the disposable income to have expensive smart phones, laptops, pads and quality high fidelity equipment.
