[fourwheels0]

i have a yamaha rx-v992 receiver and a yamaha kx-w282 dual cassette running a pair of magnepan mg-1 imp's(these sound fantastic). should i sell it? and what could i expect to get for the system. everything is in perfect working order. thanks.

Well, why are you even considering selling?

 

[fourwheels0]

i can't really use it the way it should be used. basicly my living situation prevents me from turning it up at all.i just don't want this to sit and not get used properly.plus i have other hobbies i could use the money on.

Are you selling the receiver, tape deck, and speakers? The receiver won't get much because it lacks an RF input (which is sought after in this age of receiver). You might get a tad more than $100 for it, but no guaranty. The tape deck doesn't seem to be one of their higher end models. While it is a good tape deck, the market for tape decks is dwindling and people looking for tape decks want very high end models. You might get $20-40 depending on how an auction goes. You might get lucky on a private sale with the Tape deck.

The Maggies are hard to sell online because of how fragile they are. The shipping is therefore expensive and still no guaranty they will arrive at a destination intact. I would search among co-workers, friends, and relatives that have a respect for audio and will take good care of the Maggies for a private local sale.

This is a listing I found on Audiogon for the MG-1s

They may be hard to sell due to there age and size, maybe an audiophile will buy them for more than that price just for the nostalgia, depends on the condition as well.

Sure thing, the Adcom will fetch quite a bit. I would not recommend selling it as a lot, it will be tough to sell. One person isn't likely to incidentally want all that gear, ebay or Audiogon auctions would be quite effective for most of that stuff, other than the cumbersome Maggies.

ya i can understand that selling in a lot would be tough. i live about 2hrs south of d.c. in virginia so i think i'll try to sell locally first as a lot only because i could deliver the stuff to someone or they could come see and here it. if you happen to hear of anyone looking for some of the stuff i have let me know or have them contact me.thanks.

p.s. contact me for the lot price it's cheap!!!!.

Magnepan MG1

I agree with the comments below regarding the diffuculty of selling all these components in one lot. It would be much easier to sell them individually, or if you paired items together. I would be interested in purchasing the Magnepan MG1 speakers. Do you still have the Magnepan MG1 speakers? I have heard that due to the impeadance loads on those MG1s they work better with specific amps like tube amps. I have tubes amps from the mid 60's that are in need of speakers. I will make the drive if you are interested in selling them
