Our industry was never smart.
It was founded on music. Adding music in multiple rooms, and controlling it. Amps, speakers, wiring, there was an art and science.
The day it started to collapse was the introduction of the iPod. We had better music servers then, granted they were costly, but they sounded good. The iPod infected our industry with cheap and convenient. And the industry latched on like a newborn, docks for everyone!
Who "made" Sonos?
The same guys that at one time installed quality, great sounding, expensive, audio systems in order to pick up some of that low margin, low profit, average sounding, in and out junk.
Who "made" Nest? Same guys wanting easy money.
The list goes on.
