How far would you drive to audition a component?


Taking a poll to get opinions of A'goners. If you were looking to hear a particular component but had no local dealer or the local dealer didn't stock the piece, how far would you be willing to travel to audition it? Many of us don't live in the major metros so I'm just curious to what you think. Thanks for your time.

The furthest I've gone to audition was 100 miles but I've gone much further to pick-up/deliver gear. I took a trip a few months ago & delivered some spkrs, picked up a tuner & then picked up another pair of spkrs for a friend. I also stopped & visited w/2 good friends in 2 different cities.

Total mileage for this trip was 1865 & I was gone for 5 days.

No wait, that's wrong. I was in Denver visiting my sister & planned the upgrade of my amp so I could pick up when I was there. That was 1700 miles one way but I stopped at my friends (same as last trip) and picked up a trailer so I could haul a motorcycle when I got to Denver.
