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

You must be new to that kid thing if you think they will feel the same way ten years from now. They are angels now, then they become human beings later. Enjoy them as much as you can now. That’s the natural way of things. 

OP, the last time I died, my stuff ended up at Goodwill 😁
My Son just wants the Resto Modded 1968 901's. Problem is he doesn't understand the complexity of the miniDSP EQ, which Amplifier I used to drive them, and how the Bluesound Node 2i streams into everything.
My Wife will sell everything and probably get Top Dollar cause she knows what I paid for them minus depreciation LOL !
I have no living relatives. My closest friends are older than me.

My 70’s era system is going to the guy/shop that has fixed 2 of the pieces. His store is full of the same type stuff. He will get the LPs, too. Not sure about the 900+ CDs.
TL:DR... Long sad tale ahead. Pop passed 20 years ago and left me his system: VPI, Jadis, B&W Matrix 800s and a few hundred LPs and CDs. Unfortunately my dear mother refused to let it go. I went from WA to FL four times at her bidding to "come get it" only to have her change her mind upon my arrival. Every. Time. She'll be selling her condo soon and moving into other living arrangements due to her advanced age which means that now I'll be obligated to make the trip, again, and will have to packing everything up under a time crunch to get everything out. I'm 64 now. Yes, I'm extremely bitter. Dad's system could have been playing music as intended versus sitting in a darkened room, silent. Thing is, it won't be long that I'll have to figure out what to do with it when *I* get very old!
