Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you?


I’ve tried everything, but it didn’t work out.  My speakers suck.  Different cables, different music, different placement, it didn’t matter what I did.  When I replaced them with some old standbys(after burning in the new speakers for over 60 hours), the magic came back.

i just bought the speakers 2 weeks ago at the Black Friday sale, and I finally realized it was a big mistake.  So today I took them back, and frankly, I feel relieved.  
Has anyone else had this experience with speakers or components?  Maybe even after a couple of years?

I was disappointed with a preamp from the beginning. I gave it time to break-in, I rolled the tubes, but it didn't present the sound I was looking for. I wasn’t quite sure about it when listening at the audio shop but I bought it anyway.
I sold it here on Audiogon.

And I regretted buying a pair of speakers which were too bright and fatiguing. I bought them on close-out from Underwood Wally without an audition; no returns. I lived with them a couple of years all the while changing room treatments, rolling tubes and cables. Now they’re sitting in a spare room unused.
