The high end industry was never very large. The old Mark Levinson company was probably the largest with 80 employees, before they downsized to about half that number. Conrad Johnson has about 21 or so employees and that number includes both Conrad and Johnson.
Many, if not most companies, these days subcontract out cabinet work and such, particularly speaker companies.
If you believed the high end industry was ever huge, you were sadly mislead. Even Saul Marantz started off building his components in his basement.
