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.

But IN regards to westborn's idea, the buy out would make the speakers 10 to 15% over value....who wants that? Plus if the dealer in turn sells the speakers then he made alot of extra money on an already inflated price....I see no good out of this idea....but I am poor and cheap.
Also with so many cases of upgraditis I think a very small section of the Audio comunity would be happy with that buy out.
