I don't know, there still seem to be lots of people buying high-end
speakers out there.  I suspect that the same demographic who bought
great speakers to play vinyl on in the 50s and 60s and who converted to
digital sources (CDs) in the 80s will be doing so going forward.  There
has always been a large element of the music-listening public for whom
quality of reproduction was less important.  That's the demographic that
bought all the small component kits and the boomboxes with tape players
(and later CD players) built in.  Granted the ubiquity of cloud-based
music and the iTunes purchase world has changed things, but how much,
really?
