B&W speakers and Rotel Separates

NickDrake

Hey guys.

Think I am posting in the right place.

I won the following in a competition 2 years ago:

2 X Bowers & Wilkins 685 Speakers
1 X Rotel RA-05 Stereo Amplifier
1 X Rotel RCD-06 Cd player
1 X Rotel RT-06 Digital/analogue Radio

I have only used everything one or twice for a few minutes. The speakers are amazing.

I replaced them in their boxes and I have intended to set them up in my house but never got around to it.

Now I am moving abroad and it is a shame to leave them sitting there. It is an amazing piece of kit.

Anyone know how much it would retail for? I don't know much about this. Is it a good piece of equipment?

How can I go about selling them? They are new.

Thanks in advance

That's a perfect "higher end" starter kit for 2 channel music and would blow many HTIAB 5.1 setups out of the water for downmix dvd so while its a shame that you can't put it to use, I can only recommend trying your luck on adverts, ebay or perhaps avforums.

You run the risk of people wanting to split it up, so you have to decide now whether or not you are willing to go through that.

As regards price, I know Cloney Audio have a similar setup listed new for ~€1200 and considering you got it for free, I'd start it at €600.

Thanks. Ya that is a similar set up but mine also have the rotel digital/analogue Radio.

Would be a shame to let it go for half the price. I will look into it.

You should advertise it on the classified section of www.tirnahifi.org too (not plugging, helping!) but I'd suggest a slightly higher price. Gumtree.ie can be good too. Of course if you want a quick sale then maybe pitch it around that. The market is slow at the moment but a bargain will always sell.

I agree and don't get me wrong, I believe it to be worth more. My only point being that the market for higher end equipment is so minuscule that you are relying on either drawing people in with a lower initial bid (a la auction), or setting a price that you believe reflects its worth (say €900 - €1000) and rely on someone in the minuscule market seeing your advertisement and taking you up on the offer without haggling.

Thanks for the help. Wil let ye know the outcome.

Have you put them on adverts or anywhere for sale yet? I'm looking for an amp.

Popping it on adverts tonight.

I might just be interested in the CD player?
