Ricardo, I thought you were making fun of yourself and the speaker turn around you have had; when I read the title. LOL

I like the idea! Anyone want to lease a tube amp? Shipping both ways plus $50 a month? What a cool way to try something before you buy.

I'm willing to bet you need to sign a contract that you can't back out of. In this case the way they advertise is it at the end of the lease for those speakers for example the buyout is $1.00. Therefore, you sign a contract saying you will pay $24,999 + interest for those speakers. Should you decide to give it up you are still responsible for that money.

Looking at those make me appreciate my $1500 Polk RTI-12's even that much more.

You have to have a business and a tax I.D. to lease them.

You know you're a hardcore audio buff when renting
a set of speakers at $400 a month starts to sound like a good idea.

I don't know, how about if they had a three month plan. You lease it for three months you get some quality time with the piece of gear then after the third month, you call them and tell them to come pick it up. That would be worth $1.2K for three months to hear a $25k pair of speakers that long in my own environment.

Absolutely! I would consider paying $1.2K to listen to the Avantgarde speakers I want for 3 months in my own room. Think of the $$ you save if you decide you don't want to keep them. Of course the other option is to buy used, play as long as you like then re-sell. That can tie up a lot of cash though.

That right there would justify the cost to me. I'd hate to have to fork out retail to find out I didn't like something to do it all over again in two weeks. Been there, done that.

Um...well, uh...not with 10,000.00+ pieces of gear though. However, for normal folk, something like this could be an option depending on how long you can actually lease the gear for. To lease it for a year and find out on day two that you can't stand it would suck big time.

If only they had a showroom SOMEWHERE in the good ol' USofA that you could get a listen on and decide after an audition whether or not you would want to try a particular model out in your own special dwelling. THAT would be the bomb! Think how much dough you'd save on just the shipping aspect? :eek: :eek: :eek:
