Thank you all for the condolences and the great suggestions!! I really appreciate it.
Denver used market?
My father recently passed away. He was a bit of an audiophile and had a lot of high end equipment. Among the long list are a set of 4 Quad ESL-2912's which I would love to take home, but have no room for. I see none of these listed anywhere on the used market - and even though my Dad was a completest and kept all the original packing it seems shipping them would be difficult.
I'm curious how people deal with this. It seems like this would be the best place to list them for sale, but I'm wondering if there are any professionals in the Denver area who might be interested in having a look at his entire system. He ran Tact and NAD digital amps, Quad speakers, HDSPe AES soundcards, etc, etc.
Thanks for any advice.
There’s a great dealer on South Broadway called Aural HiFi who would either purchase outright or sell on consignment. Their number is (720) 432-0373. They sold my Sonus Faber Extremas and Marantz 9 tube amplifiers and realized some great prices

Sorry for your loss. Musicroom is going to take a significant cut and.... they are gonna list it on Audiogon anyway.... Hence, list it directly on Audiogon for local pickup and try your luck. Ime, Hifiheaven, dealer based out of Wisconsin had a history of providing significant trade-in value on things (not gip you too much, like the rest of them), if you were to buy something from him. |
@grahamk Sorry for your loss. As for dealers in the Denver area, I would think your best bet is to simply call a few. Any that are not interested may be able to steer you to someone who is. Then you may want to consult HiFi Shark web site for pricing. They appear to have several of the Quad ESL-2912 currently listed and many that have sold. Should give you a reasonable idea about the asking price. Sounds like you have the original boxes so sipping should not be a concern. Reliable outfit and fully insured. 100% payment in your bank account prior to shipment. Stay away from PayPal IMHO. Hope it all works out for you. Cheers. |
