I would definitely try this at least once, for all the positives listed above. It would be nice if there were many different brands of equipment that one could swap in and out just to see how components match up. Ahh, but how would the pricing be structured?
Would You Pay to Listen?
Imaging the best sounding system you've ever heard. My question is, would you pay (say on an hourly basis) to listen to that system. You bring the music, friends, refreshments, etc. and you have the use of a state-of-the-art system in a professionally designed acoustic space.
Possible reasons to pay to hear such a system:
- unlike the local audio salon, you could listen without the pressure of a salesman trying to sell you equipment
- you could use it as a reference to your home system
- you could use it as a refuge, a place away from the spouse and kids where you could truly experience dedicated listening
To be honest, I'm not sure I would pay for such a service, but then again if it were cheap enough, occasionally, maybe I would. What's your thoughts?
