Time to do house cleaning.

At some point one gets old enough that it becomes clear that stuff needs to be going out instead of in. I assume by your embarkation of audio journey was very similar to mine. So, you can declutter now or allow an estate sale or have someone that has no clue of the value (I don’t mean money) of the stuff dispose of it. About five years ago I started giving away or trading in all my extra stuff. I have a friend… buding audiophile and some discounts for my current gear. I am retired and can spend three hours a day listening to my main system and headphone system. I don’t stand around my storage areas looking at my old equipment.

I know my old Threshold Gear was reconditioned and went to a person who loved Threshold gear. Etc.

You can make sure it goes to someone that will appreciate it.

I’ve read it a thousand times: ‘I used to have that ———, but I sold it and I’ve missed it ever since.’

Therefore, having received the wisdom of others who’ve gone before me, I’ve never sold anything.

As far as I’m concerned, it hasn’t gotten out of hand thus far, but a stranger seeing my place would probably say it has.

I say, consider the matter rationally, but also consider that we humans aren’t 100% rational, and that’s OK.

Don’t cut yourself short.

I've been though a lot of equipment in my life, and yes, there are a few pieces I wish I never sold, but then I ask myself, what would I be doing with it? It would probably be collecting dust and taking up room. Plus, the money I made on it helped me buy new equipment. Add to that I can always buy it back if I really miss it/wanted it (and I never have!). So I only keep what I use.

I'd suggest you ask yourself what benefits you the most, keeping it or selling it? 

Clean it up. 
the process will is good for the soul. 
 (Maybe you’ll find some good soul music you forgot about).

Soon enough father time will have you giving or throwing it away.

Find a loving home for your ex’s while you still can.
