Should manufacturers lease speakers?


Given the turnover of equipment, maybe it would make sense for manufacturers or dealers to (profitably) lease speakers (or other components for that matter) with an option to buy? I certainly would be willing to pay to live with something (espescially something expensive) for a year or so knowing I could return it without the hassle of selling.

There are planty of dealers that will repurchase your speakers from you, no hassle. Sure they only give you about 25% of retail. But I would expect the same from a lease (i.e., $10k speakers, $209/mo +tax for 36 mos, not $139/mo).

generally lease terms are dictated by the bank. Sure leasing is great if you can't haggle. But sheesh! What a ripoff. I'm time is valuable, but not that valuable.
