I’m with Woody Allen on this: "I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member."
Best post so far, nearly spilt my coffee. I took it to heart.
Thank you

That's Groucho Marx.
The Queen of England could have said it for all I care.
It made me laugh and that's a good thing on a Friday morning before 2 cups of coffee even.
"Working closely with some of our most dedicated audio enthusiasts, we’ve launched a premium membership tier"

So, maybe I missed it. Anyone want to step forward and identify themselves?

The model that I've seen that has worked well this way is for specialty auto forums where there is a fee for seeing and advertising paid member to paid member classified ads along with other minor perks. Rennlist, as an  example. That forum however makes it's revenue from member subscriptions almost exclusively. No fees collected from sales transactions. About the same price. People there who are "unbadged" are generally seen as lurkers and not actual owners of these particular vehicles. There are some potential parallels here. Will this become the "true high end Forum" however that term may be defined?
