Kinda happy/sad.
Just sold a pair of made-in-England Wharfedale stereo speakers that had been in the family for about 50 years.
My late Mom scrimped and saved and bought them so her kids had a quality experience listening to symphonies, and operas, and Ukrainian folk and Christmas songs.
They were big and heavy, and didn’t match anything that we have. I hung on, and hung on, but finally let them go.
I got about average of what I’ve seen similar ones going for on Craig’s List, so that’s the happy part.
And I think they went to someone who will appreciate them. We spent nearly an hour unscrewing the recalcitrant back panels so he could check out the tweeters, mid-ranges, and woofers. He knew his stuff, and seemed to like what he saw.
But it’s sad letting go of things sometimes, too. . .
