@emergingsoul I suspect whomever your heirs’ estate lawyers & therapists are will applaud the split-the-speaker-pairs plan. Mini-full employment scheme for them! (But I’ll assume you’re joking, and the idea is pretty grin-inducing!)
New speakers or new car?
ever notice it’s easier to spend $50,000 on speakers than $50,000 on a new car? Why is that. Is it because my living room is not big enough for a car?
Seriously, I need a new car. So maybe I need to come to terms with that and somehow find a way for it to be easier to spend a lot of money on a new car. Maybe it’s because a speaker doesn’t come with annual recurring costs like insurance and all the gasoline or electricity you gotta put into it.
Or maybe I just do both.

LOL, @emergingsoul . A donor’s prerogative for sure. And if the bequest is too complicated or fraught for the putative heir, he/she/they can always disclaim it. Seems like a fair test! (As long as you’re not conveying separate interests in the preamp and amp modules of an integrated amp like a Audionet Humboldt or CH Precision I1 ; that would just be perverse.) |
I've seen audio gear in estate sales at ridiculously low prices. Sadly, executors, appraisers and beneficiaries have no idea what the stuff is. And then when you have multiple beneficiaries sharing an estate where everything has to be appraised, which is only a benefit to the appraisers and the attorney and accountants. this serves to further degrade the value of audio gear. One goal I have is to make it as easy as possible to deal with my estate. Doesn't mean everybody's gonna be happy, especially the attorneys. Maybe I'll draft an estate planning guide for audiophiles.
