Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?

I've changed my mind about many things.  Beer for instance.  Now I can really only drink IPAs and dark beers. Lagers?  Phooey.  This is very different than what I drank in my 20s though. 

Same for audio gear. 

So let me ask all of you, are there brands or equipment you've changed your mind about, for better or worse?  And if so, why?  It doesn't have to be a brand, it can be a TYPE or technology.

For instance, I used to love Ti and Be tweeters.  Now usually can't listen to them.

What about you?

Let me go back a few years....

I had a marantz 8b back in the 70s.   Through my Rogers LS3/5a, I knew I had died and gone to heaven.  Sold the 8b in the mid 80s, Parted with the Rogers around 2000.  I had a chance to listen to both (separately) in the past few years and could not understand what I saw (and heard) in either of them years ago. Hmmm.
Similarly, at that time I could not see what all the fuss about Maggies and electrostats was about.  Now I own Maggies and one of my best listening friends has a couple sets of Martin Logans.  I can’t imagine owning a box speaker again.  But, I still love EL34 tube amps in their modern versions.
