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

I currently use a pair of JM Lab Daline 3.1. I sold my first pair about 20 years ago when I thought I was upgrading to the 6.1. The 6.1 created a bad resonance in my listening room that I could not seem to fix with acoustic treatment. 

I then played around for 5 years with B&W, Vandersteen's, Maggie's, Audio Physics etc.. 

I then put an wanted add in Agon and found someone who was selling a pair of 3.1. That's what I have been listening to for the last 15 years.
