Do any of you kids , want your system ???

Gents: 

I’ve experienced a buy/sell of my giant speakers

anyway, As we are an older Demographic 

2 questions: 

1) if you go to audiophile Heaven,  do any of your kids want your Hifi ?
    I asked that , over Christmas, and caught a defeating silence and laugh “ no” frickin way
    Way to big !!!  And lots of laughs over the conversation 
2) when that time comes , How does anybody get rid of all the Hifi stuff ?         Does the spouse?   Cuss you out and sell for $5 a garage sale ?   My guess; it’s a lot of work to sell correctly ?   My wife answer was enlightening!!!
It’s an ugly/funny question , But I’m really wondering how it happens

You are an asshole and toxic to this forum

I have a great nephew that will get my system should I croak before being committed. Hopefully they commit me with my headphone amp and digital playback system.
Ultimately I will be dead. And a materialistic, albeit cherished, bunch of stuff will probably be squandered away to oblivion.

My nephew wants my system.  Fortunately.  And, he will get it upon my passing.

I offered to donate and build a system with some of my excess equipment for my single nephew who likes music.  he expressed some interest and then showed me the plans for the distributed system he was buying from Crutchfield - ceiling speakers and sound bars.  he would be considered an "audiophile" by today's standards of smartphone listeners.  we are a dying breed for sure.

Oh Dekay, don’t go....
but yes, "no" the kids don’t care. In 2 - 5 minutes they can no longer contain themselves to sit and just listen, the cellphones come out. Playing a music video lasts a bit longer, but never expect any actual appreciation. Sad really.
And it does not bode well for the industry.

-There’s a little ball, Apple’s Home Pod Mini. My son has one. Pretty amazing bass really for such a little (mono) ball. It plays anything you tell Siri to play including "mood catagories", "60's Folk", "Impressionistic Classical" etc.  Might be a clue. Encroaching Digital Disruptors.
