Moving Soon - Should I Pack Up Everything Now??


I am getting ready to list my house. The photographer is coming tomorrow to take pictures for the listing. 

What is the consensus on if I should pack up everything so they are no in the photos. I listen to my system every night and really do not want to but I get the security aspect of things. I am home all day every day if that matters.

Two monoblocks, Wilson WATT/Puppies, streamer, DAC, Preamp.

I guess I could pack things up for the pictures and then bring them back out, but that would be a PITA.

Thoughts on this?

I agree with @bigtwin.  If you are going to be living there for a while, then leave the system set up so you can listen.  Mostly potential buyers want to be able to visualize what they would do with the various rooms in a house.  Your system does not clutter up the room and should not have a negative impact. 

If you are concerned from a security aspect with pictures of your system being posted in the listing, then buy some dark sheets and cover the speakers and components when the pictures are taken.  Open houses are another consideration.  Unplug your system, put the speaker grill covers on and, if you don't have speaker covers then, maybe buy a couple of heavy duty winter AC unit covers to put over the speakers.  You don't want somebody or their kid poking their finger through your drivers.
