Its a good idea tbh. I'd probably visit atleast once just to hear the la scalas.

Perhaps an idea for when I want to stop working as an engineer.. Contact a manufacturer and setup something similar - combine some income with a hobby I enjoy

I was prepared to be disappointed but it's actually not a bad list of gear.

@JayC - Paris has a few places like this with giant JBL speakers. I pretty sure there's probably one in the Netherlands somewhere

True, I'll look around.. The only thing I've experienced was a listening evening at a cafe in Rotterdam where they setup a set of Dutch&Dutch 8c's and everyone who turns up adds a song to the playlist. You then get to talk a bit about the song and why you chose it, if you like. The song chooser gets the best seat in the room and everyone listens together

Nice experience, but a lot less casual than a listening bar

1.2k records is a lot. Does anyone here know how interactive public performance licensing works with records? I assume you still can’t spin a Bruce Springsteen record in this store.

I bet they aren’t allowed to play the vast majority of records/ songs they have on hand due to public performance licensing.

f**k the listening bar, I wanna get drunk.

They better have some approved Shatski glasses…

Not impressed with their choices of equipment, esp. considering the amount of money they sunk into the place.

More interested to hear their gear than our Oakland audiophile Bar Shiru https://www.barshiru.com/ They have Line Magnetic and I got excited but it did not sound that great.
