Definitive Technology Demand D17???
Not familiar with that speaker, but $1400 for a used pair seems over the top! You can buy them new for a tad over $1500 with a money back option! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_735D17BL/Definitive-Technology-Demand-D17-Piano-Black-Left.html?cc=07

Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?

Speaker recommendations :-)

Spendor S8e vs Spendor A7 vs Spendor SP1/2 vs Harbeth SHL5
I owned that Spendor about 15 years ago. I now own the Harbeth SHL5 Plus. The Spendors were nice but not in the same class as the Harbeths. If you want to do a fair comparison the Spendor classic 1/2 would be more realistic. Both are 3 way stand m... 
Help me upgrade my beginner system!
