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

A while back , I offered my then 17 year old son a beautiful pair of PSB M2 Platinum with stands, a Velodyne HGS 10 sub and a nice Anthem integrated amp and he said “no thanks, I got this “ holding up his cellphone.....   at first I wanted a DNA test but then I realized today’s kids want it now, virtually free and don’t care what it sounds like.   
It was really a nice system that I eventually sold to a young couple that were thrilled with what they got for the money and appreciated good sound

Change the lyrics to one more child to carry my heavy audio gear out of the room?

My kids may only be 5 and 8 but we listen to our system everyday for at least 3-4 hours together. They get to listen to whatever they want. They both want all of it when they get older. I’m already building a second set at my ex’s house next year so they don’t have to fight over it years from now. If I leave them anything, I want it to be a love of music :)

My kids are in elementary school and don't have any interest in any media other than video games (mostly minecraft).  I have to drag them away.  Movies, tv, music, nothing.  For a while they mixed youtube shows in and occasional movies and scripted shows but that has disappeared.  I don't think any traditional media will be of any importance to them.  The change is a whole lot more significant.
