Would You Pay to Listen?

Imaging the best sounding system you've ever heard. My question is, would you pay (say on an hourly basis) to listen to that system. You bring the music, friends, refreshments, etc. and you have the use of a state-of-the-art system in a professionally designed acoustic space.

Possible reasons to pay to hear such a system:

- unlike the local audio salon, you could listen without the pressure of a salesman trying to sell you equipment

- you could use it as a reference to your home system

- you could use it as a refuge, a place away from the spouse and kids where you could truly experience dedicated listening

To be honest, I'm not sure I would pay for such a service, but then again if it were cheap enough, occasionally, maybe I would. What's your thoughts?

in case you haven't noticed most good concert halls have very good equipment....right from radio city hall to the kodak theater.....and we do pay money for the tickets....

Say a performance is recorded on good equipment, so good no one can tell it apart from live.
Then why wont you pay for a audio performance so good that you can't tell if it's live or not....how do you care if it's live or simulated....you listen with your ears, right?

actually...just kidding....i would not pay if they wanted me to audition a final recording...no matter how good the studio was
