In Reply to: Will high end audio survive Covid-19? posted by suekraft on July 28, 2020 at 20:11:45:
Running SoundStage! and actually traveling in the UK the moment that the S&*t really hit the fan with COVID-19, I've been immersed in this for months and have strong opinions. In a nutshell...Good companies will make it through this easily. By good, I mean well-run companies with a good dealer base and/or online presences that sell well-made products that can justify their prices. Great companies are those same companies, they just do all or some of that better. In fact, many of these companies are, right now and for the past few months, doing as good or even better than ever.
What will hurt are brick-and-mortar hi-fi dealers with poor online presences and "questionable" manufacturers -- companies that are running on a shoestring as is, are selling products that aren't competitive, etc. They'll be weeded out, no question. Many hi-fi shows will go by the wayside, not just because they can't put them on right now, but because they're so financially hurting they won't be able to put them on in the future.
On the whole, though, hi-fi will live and even thrive after COVID-19 settles down more.
