I've always been curious about how large the market is for high end home audio systems. For purposes of this thread, I will assume "high end" means a system (talking only 2 channel here) valued between $10,000 and $20,000 MSRP or higher (very arbitrary),
Let's play with some numbers. There are about 90,000,000 single family US homes, including trailer homes. Let's assume there are 80,000,000 single family homes that are not trailers. How many of those, would you estimate, have an audio system that meets my definition? A million? My bet is maybe a fifth of that or 200,000 or even less. At 200,000 "systems" we are talking about 0.25%. Even at 500,000 systems, we are still talking about 0.625%.
Any industry folks here who can shed some light on this subject??
