solid state integrateds that will hold their value

I HATE losing a lot of $$$ when the bug hits me to try something new so I like to purchase gear that is not only reliable but holds its value well long term (and of course sounds good!).

Two on my short list are:

Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II
YBA Passion

Mac's also seem to remain pretty stable in pricing but i have actually never HEARD one. Comments/comparisons of sound etc welcome.

Thanks

Jeff

"Speaking for myself as an audiophile with 24 years experience, I can tell you I bought all my current gear eyes wide open."

And your wallet, I bet.

Krell KAV 300i and 400i,
Yamaha Natural Sound Receiver is holding up value as well.

"Yamaha Natural Sound"...isn't that an oxymoron? :D

The Modwright KWI-200 is a great IA, plenty of info on the web. Sadly it does not hold its value as other brands, altho it's very well built, sounds great and is MFG in the US, none the less it's a great buy as used or demoed.
