It can be risky to send a potential customer to hear Volti speakers at a customer's home. I never know how the system is going to be setup and what other gear will be used with the Volti speakers. It might be a good demo, or it might not.
And yes, there is the liability thing that I have to be concerned about. I don't really know most of my customers.
One of the reasons I moved from Maine to Tennessee is because of the central location. TN has eight bordering states and within one day driving distance of a very large chunk of the population in the U.S.
If someone wants to come demo speakers here, it can be done in one day from anywhere in the country. Fly into Nashville, I'll pick you up at the airport and take you to my shop. You'll demo speakers, have lunch, maybe get a convertible ride, and then back to the airport we go.
You'll get a tour of our modest little shop and see where we build your speakers. I usually have one of each of our models to demo and I move the speakers in and out of the demo room (my living room) so that one pair is not interfering sonically with another pair.
If you want to spend the night, I have a single bed that I can set up in my veneer room in the shop. It's not too dusty in there, it's very comfortable and you get your own bathroom.
This is really the best way to hear my speakers. The cost is plane ticket and one day of your time for a nice experience all around. I think worth it even if you don't end up buying my speakers. Remember, it's an experience for me too, which is why I don't mind making the effort.
Life is short. Get out there and enjoy it!
