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

May be my ProAc D100 after I change them for Avalon Time.
What if I miss the ProAcs....
I switched to Vandersteen after over 20 years with many Proac designs and have not looked back.. I am enjoying music so much more.  Not even close right now.
 I have a pair of Apogee Duetta II's, bought new in 1987. I had them rebuilt in 2008. They sound great
Did you go to the guy in Australia who bought the name?  Heard he does a great job in rebuilding them.  I used to love most of the line back in the late 90's.  We used to bi amp the full range panels and drive the heck out of them.  Wish the guy in Boston knew how to run the business as they were nice guys.  Got to go to the factory up there a few times.
ctsooner, I used his ribbons, but the rebuilt was by TrueSoundWorks in Minden, Nevada. Well worth the money!
