Would you pay to listen?

Wouldn't feel right. Not a matter of rational economic calculation, just wouldn't feel right.

PS Karel, you peasant. Clos d'Ambonnay over Clos d'Mesnil! That swill is for nouveau-riche blanc de noir drinkers. Of course, if this scathing note has convinced you to dump you stash, I stand ready to buy it (at an appropriately steep discount).

Que néni, Messire Marty, hélas!

Hey if I had it in my own cellar I wouldn't have to consider exposing myself to Bose, right.

On second thought, this seems like one heck of a way to write off the purchase of your system on your taxes. Create an LLC, purchase a system to put into a dedicatd room in your home and call it business startup costs.

Karelfd, Why? What's wrong with Bose?

Movie systems cost $200K? If true they are being ROBBED by installers...a first class full range live PA with flown array speakers and piles of amps, monitors, and mixers can be bought for less than that.

I've been amused by Audio Salon pretention for many years...in NYC and elsewhere. Ever get buttonholed by a Linn salesman? "Listen to the RHYTHM"...jeeze...and now in the local Audio Salon where I live they are rarely helpful about anything, and have, of course, absolute opinions coming out of their collective bums and have very little time to discuss anything, let alone have you listen to things...so I buy things here and Ebay.
