@coltrane1 how long did it take you to sell the pair of two monos? In what price bracket were they in? If I may ask
Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market?
I will be buying a new 2 channel McIntosh system soon and I am trying to decide between a 2 mono block amps or a single stereo amp. Curious... if I decided to sell down the road is it easier to sell mono blocks or a single stereo amp on the used market? Was not sure which is more in demand.

@dman777 2.5 months. But nearly every ad on USAudioMart takes a long time to sell. Back in the day I recall ads on AG selling in a matter of days. Those days are gone. I see great buys for used gear sitting for a long time. |
@coltrane1 did you have to use freight shipping? |
@dman777 no. They weighed 47 pounds each so they shipped via FedEx |
It didn't make a difference to me for many years. But after a bit of back trouble, I've derated my lift capacity to around 70 lbs. If can can get the power/quality I want in a stereo platform under 70 lbs, that's the one I'm going to buy. But if it's not available, then it's monoblocks for the win. How does that relate to your question? There are a lot of aging audiophiles who likely think along the same lines. In the grand scheme of things, we're a niche market, and based on all I see and hear within the audiophile community, the median age is getting older. And while it sounds a bit pessimistic to those who don't think you should consider future resale options on today's purchases, it is a realistic bit of data to consider when making a purchase. |
