The one component that you wish you had not bought


Most of us have a component that we spent good money on and then wished that we had not bought.
In my case, it was a Musical Fidelity X-Can V3....which I mistakenly acquired after reading a rave review by
Sam Telling....( yes, I know...that was pretty stupid!). 

What is the one component that you acquired that quickly went back on A'gon?

A pair of B&W 685 speakers. The always receive rave reviews and I even listened them in two sessions before buying, but made a mistake of carrying with me my prefered music which is mainly jazz trios (bass, piano, drums).
These are devil angel speakers. Great bass and highs, slightly forward. It can raise your hairs on some pieces while other will sound totally disgusting with wrong timbre of acoustic instruments. The mids are coloured and vocals and speech sound honky. They made me not like to listen to haf of my music collection. Coloured speakers...
