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
Yes. The Swiss-made Pawel/Ensemble PA-1 Reference. Finally found a perfect pair in Italy after searching for over 20 years. Have had them now for 4 months and they're better than I remembered them to be. https://www.stereophile.com/content/pawelensemble-pa-1-amp-reference-loudspeakers |

I would buy another pair of Infinity RS 1.5's in a heartbeat if they were in better condition than the pair I'm currently using. My pair is not perfect, and I would like to have perfect pair. But at what price? I paid $264 for mine a couple of years ago. I wouldn't sell them for double that unless I had another pair waiting in the wings..... If my space was downsized and I need to go back to a small stand-mount monitor/bookshelf speaker, I would gladly own a pair of Reference 3A MM DeCapos again. Alas, the used prices have started to creep up to a level I'm not likely willing to pay.... |
