According to a recent Consumer Electronics Association's (CEA) <A HREF="http://www.ce.org/Press/CurrentNews/press_release_detail.asp?id=11935">… release</A>, "CE Industry to Surpass $174 billion in 2010, Reach Record High by 2011," sales forecasts are far more optimistic than had been expected. While the figures aren't easily translatable to the high-end market (which the CEA identifies as "high-performance audio"), some consumer-electronic (CE) trends give cause for qualified optimism, and provide clues as to which products may prove most profitable for manufacturers and dealers.
