I don't recall ever going to a concert hall where I could change the programming by pushing a button on a remote control, and, it would be much more than 10 years of tickets before something like Harry Partch's Delusions of the Fury will be at a hall near me. There are plenty of good reasons for $20k+ speakers in a nice system and the experience does not have to compete with attending a concert--it is something different.
Hey RICH Audiophiles
Why don't one of you incredibly wealthy audiophiles whose systems I drool over every day start an Audiophile Rental business?
Imagine how easy to simply rent a set of speakers or amp for a nominal fee so us POOR enthusiasts could demo it in our own home/system without restocking fees or massive depreciation when reselling..No more sitting in traffic,wasting gas & polluting the environment running from dealer to dealer only to be greeting by horrible listening conditions that give you ABSOLUTELY no idea how a piece of gear will actually sound in your own listening room...
