Len Wallis, the owner of Len Wallis Audio in Sydney, discusses the changes in the audio market over the years in an interview with Australian Hi-Fi magazine. Wallis started his business in the late 1970s after working for another audio shop. He reflects on the simpler market back then and the introduction of CD players and surround sound systems. Wallis also talks about the challenges of attracting younger customers to hi-fi and the impact of the pandemic on his business. He believes that hi-fi should be sold based on performance and the importance of listening to products. Wallis predicts that streaming and higher-resolution platforms will continue to grow, and there will be a trend towards all-in-one systems and headphones. He also expresses concern about the loss of passion and soul in the high-end market, emphasizing the importance of conveying enthusiasm and emotion to customers. Outside of work, Wallis enjoys music, travel, sports, movies, and walking. [Extracted from the article] |
