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

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).

I don't know if they do, but if they don't, I would go to the nearest audio club and find out who is the youngest or least able to afford audio and give it to them. Or go to my local college to the music engineering department and ask some faculty which students would really benefit from a great hifi rig.
