Do any of you kids , want your system ???

I hadn't thought about it until - just now reading this thread.  I don't think my kids care about my stereo.  

Now, my high end boutique guitars - my son already has dibs.  

My son has already told me that he wants the gear and the speakers but that he does not want all of the music but we will see what happens when the time comes.

Only child is a daughter and is 5. LOVES music and really weird stuff which is awesome! Can hear a song a few times then figure out parts of it on her cheap electric keyboard. Pretty damn amazing. Stereo is in the basement and she has never been down there …. Ever….! 
Couple years from now when she’s not so pokey I will take her down and we will jam. I think she will be into it. 

Had serious talks with a musically inclined nephew of mine regarding inheritance of my audio system, recordings and (even greater interest) collection of vintage keyboards, guitars and amps that I own.  He' still on and he feels 2 of the 3 grandchildren are good with it as well (for what that is worth at a young age . . . ).

Now, that bro who gave life to that nephew?  Crated up carefully an older Linn/Arcam-Monitor audio based system that I had for years and thought a wonderful present some time back.  He uncrated it, then put it in a closet about 18 years ago and never looked at it again.

It pays to discuss this in advance.  If I couldn't find anyone interested, I'd make arrangements through a shop/musician friend to find someone with little that would take pleasure in owning it.

My father wanted me to play football in high school. He very much liked the game and just assumed that I would as well. I was indifferent but my mother encouraged me to play for him. I was objectively better than average but had no passion and took no joy in it. Practice and playing was just fulfilling an obligation to him. 

My point is I don’t know for sure if my son will honestly want my audio systems when I’m gone and I don’t worry about it. He certainly has right of first refusal, but I don’t try to get him to see value as I see it. My passions won’t ever be his burden.
