Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??

I am curious if any one has ever considered buying a speaker previously owned and liked, but decided to either downsize or look for a "different" type of sound. 

I ask because I purchased a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios speakers about 5-6 years ago, and decided to downsize the system with a less heavy speaker that was easier to move around.  The Adagios were 80 lbs each.  I currently own a pair Golden Ear Technology model 7 speakers (purchased in 2014)  which are smaller and lighter at 37 lbs each. The Adagios are 50 inches tall, and the GET 7's are 40inches with a slimmer profile. 

I realize the Adagios  are almost three and a half times more expensive than GET 7's. which are $1395. They can sound very good, but I have come to realize they are not in the same league sound quality wise as AZ Adagios. and  may possibly be the best speaker I ever owned.   Of course, hindsight or hindsound is a wonderful thing.    Thanks,  SJ

Yes. I regretted selling my Toninan TL-D1 speakers before I packed them up for shipping. After the money was transferred, I swapped out my sofa for some lounge chairs, freeing up space, dramatically improving the sound of the room. Big mistake. But a deal is a deal so I shipped them.

Right now they are for sale here on A'gon. I'm in a place now where I just can't justify buying them back but if anyone is interested in a great set of speakers, check out the ad. There is nothing wrong with them: the owner is getting an improved (and more costly) version. They are spooky good as is.

All the best,
