What's The Furthest/Longest You Have/Will Travel To Audition?

I have few options for auditioning a decent variety of equipment (speakers and amps), in my neck of the woods.

I'm considering the rationality of flying to another state to visit a large reseller of brands I would consider
purchasing together.  Otherwise, I would have to purchase components individually without being heard together - could be an expensive mistake.

So, how far would you go (driving or flying), assuming the travel cost wasn't prohibitive?

The other side of the globe!
9,000miles one way and 18,000miles round trip.
Every couple years I travel to Singapore visiting friends and families I will take the opportunity to auditioning gears and usually bought some small items like headphone, cartridge, cables, etc.
Auditioning high end systems and gears can improve your knowledge of gears, system synergy and at the same time improve your listening skill, IMO & IME!
