Speakers you regret selling

I was lucky to own Sonus Faber Extrema, Acoustic Energy AE1 Signature, and Dynaudio Confidence 5 in the past. They are rare in used market and can make any owner happy for the rest of his/her life. So I swore to myself I would never sell my Sonus Faber Amati this time though my wife has heard that a million times. What did you regret selling?

I miss my Magnaplanar Tympani 1Ds. I would own them in a sec, (the 20.1s actually) if I had the space. Haven't had the space in 25 years. Miss those babies. Hey, I don't pine away, but given your thread, it brought me back. peace, warren

I like Timo answer! Ditto...I regret giving equipmemt to "friends" and not getting paid what little I was asking! I do perhaps regret trading in an old pr. of Fisher XP-7's for some stupid spks. in the 70's.

i would find it very difficult to part with my Extremas as my best audiophile friend not only purchased the very fine Amatis but kept his Extremas for his home theater set-up and will never regret that decision!

I would have to agree with you, Ive owned the Acoustic Energy 1 and 2s, and regret getting rid of both...actually the 2s got toasted due to a bad amp.

add to the list, Stax F81s ELS....a midrange to die for.

I'd enjoy having my Acoustat Model 2's back again, provided I had a dedicated listening room for them. They had an incredibly small "sweet spot", no deep bass, and were inefficient as hell, but for a solo listener with the right amp, they could be terrific.
