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

Interesting question.  A few years back I was having dinner with my son and I mentioned that I missed my old JBL L112 speakers I bought in Japan.  He says, I still have them.  What?  I had no idea you still had them as I'd moved multiple times, many overseas and just lost track of them.  I picked them up and had the surrounds rebuilt and they are awesome!  Glad he hung on to them all those years.
Glad I'm not alone. I sold my Revel F206 and replaced with Zu Druid. Then I sold the Zu and bought back the Revels. Now I want the Zu back also.
(Just because I'm not alone here does not mean I'm not outta my mind however.) I loved the 206 before but love em even more now. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I had a pair of MG2b's a long time ago.
Then went to Vandersteen 2Ce's
Still running them now.
I sometimes think about trying the magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 but the Vandersteen's are quite nice

I had to give up my Gallo Reference 3.1's back in 2007. In the interim, listened to mid level Paradigm, JBL and a pair of Meadowlark Shearwaters until last year when I found and bought a Gallo Ref 3.5's right here on Agon. I'll keep them until my hearing goes. I'm happy again. :)
