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 agree with S7horton! I thought Maggie 1.6's held value very well. Also, Maggie has strict rules and a great respect for their retail dealers...and they don't play pricing games...neither Maggie nor their dealers...at least when I bought this model when first introduced.

chuck, look at it this way: 1.6 QR list for 1800, talk the dealer down a little, and you are at 1500 or maybe a hair under. Resale at 1200 dollars - years later. Try that with a car, or most anything listed on audiogon. With the exception of B&W. Not everyone is a fan of theirs. I like them, but you can't deny they hold value well.

Unless you make a very foolish purchase, you can anticipate something close to 100% resale by buying used speakers. This applies to virtually all brands and models, current production thru classics.
