Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?

Agree with the above two posts.

Beyond anything ML specific, most who sell on this site have bemoaned to me that the collapse of Audiogon this year has mostly brought the used market machine to a halt.

Trelja, could you explain what you mean by "collapse?" Thanks.

I agree with the first two posts as well.

I don't know that I agree with Trelja that the used market has been brought to a halt. It may have slowed slightly as some have looked for other avenues, but I don't think it has stopped. The CURE for the disease isn't THAT easy. ;)

Only one possible reason - Sellers believe the pieces are worth more than they are worth.

I agree, of course. Just last year 334s were going for ~$3500, and I think to move mine now I'd have to offer them for $2000. I need the space more than the money, but perhaps I need to just bite the bullet and list them for $2000 and get it over with. :-)

Could it be because most people by now have figured out the Levinson "house" sound and don't like it?

I have heard ML amps in three different systems and never cared for the sound any time. Now it might have been something other than the amps, but they were the only common denominator.
