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...
My point was, in general, the super wealthy aren’t the ones buying “exorbitantly high priced systems”. Super wealthy audiophiles who do happen to buy super high end dont typically need to tweak. They get what they want and dont fuss around.
Again, your version of rich and the real version of rich are possibly disconnected.
@jag, agree how ridiculous . @dobnbav flaunt your money, let everybody know how rich you are & how many toys you have you wont let a girlfriend play with. Arrogant people like you are.......you know what you are
Well heeled people tend not to buy stereo systems - they buy flashy cars, hugely expensive watches, boats, the wines with the highest ratings etc.
You don't get peer points for having anything as geeky and esoteric as a truly well developed audio system - but you do for video so they are much more likely to install snazzy home theatre systems with subwoofers capable of reproducing the explosion of Krakatoa.
The very small segment of society that are interested in high end audio and also are financially able to indulge that hobby are the only ones that build a system like that.
In my experience most nouveau rich are short on attention span and on patience with detail, both of which are an advantage....almost a requirement for our hobby.
Man, i have to read about that in here,,,,,,""No more sitting in traffic,wasting gas & polluting the environment""" Class D amp guy ,yes. look at the price to rent a supercar what I'm only saying is go to the store a listen let's get that right
