What goes? What stays?

[manleydennis]

Time to thin the heard, but what to keep. Any suggestions on configurations I may not have tried? Rarely known info on any of the equipment? I need to unload about a third or my wife will kill me... What to keep?

What stuff do you use? I would start with the speakers as they take up a lot of space. Which speakers get used the most? Which ones just sit there?

Of course this thread is right next to a thread with the title "Irrational attachment to your used gear".

 

[gogofast]

you can always get rid of everything and start over. that can be fun.

When did Hafler DH220's become mono blocks?

 

[Wayniac]

Unload it all and buy just a few really nice things?

 

[hatrack71]

When did Hafler DH220's become mono blocks?

With the bridge kits they offered.
