Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound?

Has any one considered selling ( or actually sold) a speaker you own (or owned) and liked because you can't seem to optimize the "sound" to your tastes by changing electronics or cables,etc.etc.

PLEASE NOTE:..... I want to note that there are many reasons for selling a high-end speaker such as:... the living space changes, the speaker begins to annoy you and/or wife because of its size and appearance, financial or family considerations, or ....you reluctantly won't admit to yourself, you are just tired of the way it sounds, even after investing time and effort to optimize its sound
quality.

Should make for an interesting discussion!!!

If you can't optimize their sound doesn't that mean you don't like them?
I agree with Sebrof. If you cannot optimize the sound, you are not pleased.

How can you like something you're not pleased with?

some speakers will not work in rooms they don't like, though certainly some speakers are much more room, set-up, placement sensitive than others...

I got a small handsome Denton, no chance to sell them, coz it's dirt cheap but excellent sound and craftsmanship, little giant speakers that I won't sell...But i can imagine if even I a little big speakers like Wharfedale Jade 3, I maybe feeling irratating of it's beefy look, weird modern design, that eventually may cause to get rid of it. Likewise, I think more expensive and gears that occupy too much space is kinda hollow to listen to, I mean ain't you got 2 ears, why you need a concert hall speakers or moutain floor stander? Unless you are rich enough to put those into tremendous collections xD

Earlier Alon model, they really worked best with tubes but they were low'ish efficiency and I didn't want to run high powered tube amps. Just couldn't make them sound right with SS amps.
