I'd say I don't need home auditioning for relatively inexpensive set-up, I would not expect much anyway. If dealer's room is good enough I will hear whatever there is to hear. But $20k speakers - yes, definitely home audition unless the dealer's room is very close to mine, which would not be very likely.
As an additional note, I think building great speaker is very challenging so no wonder that those with excellent hearing and high expectations reject most of them.
