Aside from the business points that Mcfarland gives, let's look at this simply from an idea stand point.
You rent these rooms, what about the people that bring their own inappropriate material into the space. Are you going to control that? What happens when people damage the space?
If you are going to provide these rooms, B&W and Klipsh are not good enough. You'll need top of the line. Think at the level of krell monoblock and Wilson audio. If you are going to rent a room with high end, it needs to be high end. That's the point of renting and not owning.
That's the first issue. The second issue is simply this. There are not enough people interested in ultra high end to make this work. Look at the number of people in the high end audio salons on a weekend. (or should I say lack there of)
So, my answer is that, no, it is not profitable. Nor would it probably spark any interest. I'll bet most people wouldn't understand the point.
