What would you do with a brand new SB Duet?

Posted by My name is Fred (A) on June 21, 2016 at 01:31:20

I have been using a Duet for maybe 8 years.
I have 3 of the receivers.
One has packed up although I know what's wrong with it.
I run one in the main system using an outboard DAC and one in the kitchen feeding a little T-Amp and a pair of Scandyna Micropods which actually sounds rather pleasant (in the kitchen).
But... I have a brand new Duet (receiver and controller) in its original box, never used sitting in a cupboard where it has been for 4 years.
I bought it in that time where they were outdated by the Touch and not popular any more.
So should I just keep it and use it when one of the others gives up the ghost? Or sell it? Or what?
I have been looking at replacements for the last year or so, but every time I start focusing on one, something else comes along and John Darko gives it a good write up... all in, I've been holding fire waiting for a clear (temporary) winner.
So,where does the smart money go?

All suggestions welcomes and appreciated, even the ones wondering why I am bothering.
