Can we talk?

At least a few who have been in this game long enough have made at least one significant impulse purchase. Who can blame you, given the loss of real-world listening opportunities?! What I'd like to hear about are the colossal mistakes: those involving an impulse purchase of a MAJOR BIG-BUCKS component, one that you ultimately regretted and sold. C'mon, were all friends here, unburden yourself! I want the stories behind those near-new Magico Q7's and Wilson Alexandrias that we see on Audiogon and on Ebay from time to time, and any others you think are worth mentioning. What are the specific features of the speaker that failed to satisfy? Thanks for sharing!

I have "splurged" but seldom ever bought merely on an impulse.

No real horror stories to tell, luckily.

I paid almost $4K for my current amplifiers. There were other similar amps out there for less than half that cost, but I splurged on the Bel Cantos because they had some clear technical advantages to help justify the extra cost.

I was nervous at the time, but no regrets since.
