I am in the car business and I lease out high end luxury cars everyday. Been doing it for over 30 years now. They range in price from a low of $50K to a high of $125K. I think it is a fair assumption to make that audio equipment will have a depreciation schedule similar to if not steeper than these cars. A three year lease on an $80K car runs about $1200/month (give or take)with no downpayment. So now we have the MAXX 3s. But we still need the Ongaku and the Caliburn and the Ortofon Anna and the Odin cables,etc., etc. Do you really want to stare a $5000/month lease payment for a STEREO in the face every month??? It's one thing to write a one time check and tote the filthy lucre home every coupla years but I cannot think of a more vicious reminder of how ludicrously expensive this "hobby" is than to have a monthly statement of this magnitude popping up in the mail every month.
