Brands that have the least depreciation

@jmcgrogan2 "Brands like ARC, Pass Labs, Sonus Faber, Vandersteen, VPI, etc., tend to hold their resale value better, and be easier to re-sell due to name recognition."

Totally agree with John.  Any of the classic names seem to do best, that's why they've stayed in business as long as they have.  And in many cases, the older products can reach the point where prices begin to increase.

For what it's worth, tube gear from these long standing companies tends to do pretty well over the long run

Stick to blue chip brands - Mark Levinson, Pass, Audio Research, Ayre, Krell, etc.

+1 Mark Levinson

Mcintosh for sure. 

I’ll say Ascend Acoustics for sure. Not so sure you would consider 3000 dollar speakers ’high end ’ or not.. You rarely see them for sale. I listed a set a set of Raal Towers on AVS forum @ 5 o’clock in the evening. In the morning when I got up, 6 buyers were waiting in line to buy them. The one I let have them put in dibs one hour after I listed them ... And contrary to what someone said on here, they put zero in any type of advertizing.... I just wish they made a tower " on steroids "
