Would you pay to listen?

.
Just curious, would you pay to listen to a
$100k system? Say a one hour session for twenty bucks?

Assuming the room is great and you have vinyl and cd and your choice of solid state or tubes. Also assuming you'd have the best matched system that $100k could buy.

How much would you pay to hear a $200k system? No pressure or expectation to buy anything, just plunk down your twenty and enjoy the music. BYO drinks of course.

I'm sure I'd pay if there were such a place.

The problem as I see it is that no amount of dollars invested in a system guarantees the owner knows how to set assemble the elements and set it up properly...not to mention the issue of personal taste.

Any wealthy goof ball can buy a million dollar system that ultimately sounds like crap. I've heard enough expensive systems to know that high cost doesn't necessarily translate to good sound.

Nope. Not gonna pay $20 to find out what's in the fun house.
