Are you talking about a very specialized Airbnb? Someone rent's out a place that has a fine system that is available for use. That would be the only way top gear can be reasonably auditioned because such gear must be properly integrated into a system and that system must be fine tuned to the particular room, something that can take many months to accomplish. Yeah, the only problem is that a reasonable price would be many thousands per day to rent a place housing such a system.
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...
