speaking only for myself, if i wanted to hear one businessman talk to another businessman about their business, i would have just stayed in the car business. the business of high end audio gets boring really really quick. like 5 weeks ago. give me some meaty subjective topics and i'm there. it's what attracts me to the hobby......not listening to whining about what's not fair or how the business really is. i want to know how it really sounds and related system building ideas instead.

no matter that the panel are likeable interesting people. maybe having the whole permanent panel made up of hifi business people means the perspective is a bit skewed toward the profit and loss part. just how it is. or maybe the audience ought to be other hifi dealers and manufacturers and reviewers, not hobbyists.

it is possible that the direction is moving more toward this subjective/fun side already. hope so.

I agree, I love that folks think they know about retail and miss things I was taught as a teenager as you probably were too.

i went back and read Ron's first post in this thread and have to say i'm wrong. the show has been exactly what it was intended to be. and......not really about the audience one way or the other. amen.

is that direction popular enough, with a focus that has legs and relevancy, for an audience to grow? separate question.

i do have a suggestion for the 5th member to make it a truly "HiFi 5" of the HiFi business. a personality who is not afraid to speak his mind. and has much to say. he would pull in a few folks. and would add analog consciousness big time to the vibe. people would have many questions for him.

That would be interesting indeed.

This is what I read re the show, taken as the header for the YouTube Channel;
"Welcome to The HiFi Five -- a weekly news and roundtable discussion show about all things high-end audio!"

The bottom of the paragraph does note that the industry reference

"This show is a candid, freewheeling, behind-the-scenes look at the high-end audio industry. We're going to give you insight, opinions and perspectives, while also discussing component categories and music"

Maybe change the all things high-end audio line?

I don't want to be argumentative but I have no idea where you get this from. The most successful shows are exactly not what you ask for. Controversy , discord, different viewpoints , conflict is the central theme to all of them. If you watch youtube at all you are so wrong.
the audience doesn't have to do anything but watch and listen, they don't have to like it, they don't have to hate it, as long as they consume it.

Well, I am not part of the audience, I guess, and will retract my statement and I appreciate the "Keep Out" sign!

My lack of understanding your mission is laid bare!

But, really...."the audience doesn't have to do anything but watch and listen, they don't have to like it, they don't have to hate it, as long as they consume it." That's quite a mission statement. Maybe this is more about certain parts of the hobby than I ever imagined.
