Hello all! I have inherited quite a bit of vintage stereo equipment and I’m torn between keeping most of it or selling it but it is been pretty tough to find out if this stuff is still good or still desirable. I’m not trying to sell, just looking for information. Especially with the monoblocks since I have never heard of these before! TIA

First off, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s always a drag, no matter what. Secondly, I’m helping a friend in a similar situation with a bunch of bleeding edge gear that he is wanting to liquidate. I understand you aren’t interested in selling, which is very cool if you are wanting to hang on to that stuff and have a killer rig. It looks like you have all the bits and pieces for a very nice system. I’m happy to jump on a call with you and at least let you know what you have, and I can come up with a wiring diagram for you so you know how to get it all together and functional. Feel free to send me a DM and we can go from there. Either way, there’s some cool stuff in there that will last you for many years and should be very satisfying for you.

Oh my lord. I am so sorry for your loss but you have some of the nicest end game gear and I’m sure whoever passed would definitely appreciate someone within their family rocking on with them!

The Tandberg TD-20A alone is probably worth over a grand. The Audio Research equipment has a lot of value as well. Recommend searching all the make/models of the equipment on eBay and sorting by “Sold” to get a better idea of the value.
The B&W 801 are worth between $800 and $1600 depending on condition and your location.
