That is because you can't walk into a hi-fi shop and say "I'll have 50

Yes, I suspect you are correct. However the curious thing is that shops
sell things like 'Stones' and wiggly pipes, etc, to improve the sound on a
quasi-mystical basis, but the same shops do not seem to sell more basic
acoustics materials.


Well, the average consumer would probably want to believe in some
quasi-mystical product from an audio shop instead of purchasing
acoustics materials from their local hardware/building supplies shop.

(which reminds me, I really should do something about my listening area.
Some thick rugs would be the order of the day)
