Top resale value speakers

When you consider buying a new pair of speakers, the sound, outlook and review of the speakers are important, but resale value of speaker is also a important thing to consider before your purchase. Some of the speakers resell value drop so deeply, but some don't. Can you suggest some high resale value speaker company? As far as I know, B&W have a pretty strong resale value compare with their brand, such as Dynaudio, Proac or JMLabs.

I bought two pairs of JBL L200's for 500 a pair brand new in 1973-1974.

I tried to get a pair of well used ones off ebay for reasons of nostalgia and efficiency and curiosity of how they would mate with a cj tube amp) a few years back and gave up after eight hundred bucks gets trampled in no time.

Wish to god I had kept a pair, apparently, I am not the only one.

Buy what you like, forget about resale and have fun.

I sold a 5 year old Magnepan 3.6 for $3,000, I paid $4,100, excellent resale value considering it seems like most used speakers go for about 60% of retail.

Magnepan leads the field in resale value. I don't know of any speaker line that even comes close.

Magnepan speakers have high resale value, especially the MMGs and CC3s.

B&W has very good value. I sold my 6 years and 3 months old Nautilus 802 for E 5200,- including granite plates in the shape of the speaker of 42 kilo. I had many changes to sell them and quick. Avalon is also a brand who still keeps a high price. But I think you have to buy the speaker you like most. Because listening to music for many years with great pleasure is much more important than money.
