AU9500, AU999 or 9090

I need to make room for another acquired piece of gear. Im really having a hard time trying to figure out which one to move along. I know it comes down to which i like the sound from better, but they ALL have their attributes. I just cant keep everything I acquire.
Ideas or opinions welcome.

Hard to say.... all of them are collectable.
If I would be forced to let go one, would be the 9090.

Probably worth the most, monetary wise. Wow this is tough. See what tubes do to a guy!! I like both camps, but I only have so much real estate to keep it.

What did you got Loren?
I can always accept an AU-9500 for X-mas just in case

I let my 8080db go to buy a tube amp so i would pick the 9090

Any regrets?

I have the 9500, 999 but could not let them go. With receivers, I prefer the sound of the G series. The 8080db was replaced with a AU-111 so I don't regret it at all.

The 9090. Sold my 9090DB and still have my AU-888. You will get the most coin for the 9090 as well.

Thanks for the advice. I was initially thinking the 999, but it makes more sense to move the 9090. It looks nice, but I feel the 999 and 9500 have more to offer sound-wise being amps. I don’t know, I like em all! But in the end I agree with you folks. Yep.
