Steve,
I agree with you on the collectible value on the POA-1500 and PRA-1000 since there are plenty around.
But early Denon real Class A amp models POA-3000, POA-3000Z, and POA300RG with the matching pre models PRA-2000, PRA-2000Z and PRA-2000RG are highly collectible and getting rarer as days goes by.
The step above is POA-8000 and PRA-6000 which won many accolades in Japan are extremely rare in our side of the world. These are Real Class A Push Pull Amps and nothing like the "Optical Class A" that Denon diluted the Class A name later alone the line.
But ultimately, it would be the S1 (POA-S1, PRA-S1, DCD-S1, DP-S1, DA-S1 and the integrated pma-s1) stuff that really holds the collectible value for Denon since there are not so many produced or sold around the world.
