Must high end be big to be taken seriously?
Will the future audiophiles want many big boxes?
Mono amplifiers?
Pre Amplifiers with external Power Supplies?
A phono pre have another extra PSU box?
a dac?
Some form of transport, maybe one for plastic discs and another for hard disc or SSD?
Will the future audiophile want 8 or more boxes to play good music?
Just wondering. Will the new ears want sleek slim but beautifully built stuff or will it carry on as big bulky boxes.
I have been showing things like the little half width Rega Brio, the similar sized Bel Canto range. The oohhssss obviously mostly come after the music plays as it should. No big fins, milk crate sized amplifier on the floor etc to create an impression of grandeur.
Are these people making sales easier or more difficult with the new compact form factors?
Do we all hunger for a big VTL Wotan or Absolute 845 if only we had or were allowed the space or is small sleek stuff actually just as beautiful?
