You clearly understand that this is specialized equipment, and a dealer or estate broker is going to eat a big chunk of your proceeds.
*If* you aren't in a huge hurry and you want to maximize your profit here, you're best off finding a relatively bright college kid who you trust (do you have someone like that in your network?).
Have him or her value this stuff using Audiogon's bluebook and eBay's completed auction listings, and list it in the appropriate places (and pack and ship everything) for a 10% cut (to keep the incentives aligned).
You could get 80% of it out of your house in a month that way.
Anyway, that's what I'd do.
