  • An Aussie take on audio.

    Informative, interesting and surprisingly witty, especially considering some of the intellectual horsepower that the designers and manufacturers interviewed bring to the fore, not withstanding Andrew and Brad’s own respective brands and efforts.

    I look forward to each episode.

People Aren't Buying HiFi Anymore #58
Q: How do HiFi shops and venues need to adapt to attract a broader audience?
Brad & Atlas discuss that venues and HiFi shops should emphasize experiences over pure equipment showcases, leaning into museum-like displays, beautiful design, and the social context of listening, as well as offering curated listening events and easier paths to ownership through demos and accessible products.
People Aren't Buying HiFi Anymore #58
Q: What do you think the HiFi industry is doing wrong to market itself to a younger audience?
Atlas argues that the industry is daggy and not culturally relevant, and that brands should focus on storytelling, fashion-like collaboration, and creating a cool, lifestyle-driven image to attract younger buyers, rather than relying on traditional marketing. He also notes the importance of integrating HiFi into social and design-forward venues to reach new audiences.

Q: Is there an app to control the Inspire 100, or is it controlled only by the remote and built-in interfaces?
