Do any of you kids , want your system ???

Gents: 

I’ve experienced a buy/sell of my giant speakers

anyway, As we are an older Demographic 

2 questions: 

1) if you go to audiophile Heaven,  do any of your kids want your Hifi ?
    I asked that , over Christmas, and caught a defeating silence and laugh “ no” frickin way
    Way to big !!!  And lots of laughs over the conversation 
2) when that time comes , How does anybody get rid of all the Hifi stuff ?         Does the spouse?   Cuss you out and sell for $5 a garage sale ?   My guess; it’s a lot of work to sell correctly ?   My wife answer was enlightening!!!
It’s an ugly/funny question , But I’m really wondering how it happens

A couple years ago a well known member of this site passed and his sister inherited or was deligated to get rid of the stuff...a little was sold on this site but a lot of it went to Goodwill including the huge collection of LPs...ashes to ashes

Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
And it comes to you how it all slips away
Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray.

I expect my brother to determine the disposition - keep it, give it to a relative or friend or sell it.

The same thing is true with my watches.

Frankly - I’m single so its not my problem :)

Probably not. They both use their ear buds or headphones all the time and have never shown any interest in speakers etc.

But my son has an appreciation for unique  quality gadgets in general so who knows they might someday grab his attention if I am not using them.

I'm donating my system and records to charity. My kid and I do a lot for many charities (all of them non church based/funded). As I have been fortunate to have a few charities help me out with my daughter I repay it in spades in every way I can (volunteering, graphic design, printing, organizing, etc).
