Equipment purchase that made you want to get off the Merry Go Round (good or Bad)

So, I just auditioned another pair of speakers after reading the reviews and getting caught up in the hype. 
I won't name any specifics since I'd rather not start that type of debate.
Anyway, I was excited to get them but once I hooked them up ran them for a week my impression of the sound was these aren't for me. Nothing new here we have all done this a some point in our quest for great audio. 
However this time I had the strong feeling that I am staying put for a long while unless something breaks. 

Have you ever reach the conclusion that you are done for a while either because you maybe found the missing puzzle and achieved the sound you are looking for or in my case over-reached and bought something you didn't need falling prey to the hype of reviews,

Yes. Every time. Well I learned long ago there's no greater waste of time and money than to buy stuff just to be buying stuff. So I research the you know what out of it. As a result, pretty much everything I buy is the last one for a good long while. Ten, 15 years.  

But realize, there's a lot of components in a system. And the system itself, the whole thing, is never done. But that doesn't make it a merry-go-round. Only you can do that. To yourself. Its your choice. So.... don't.

 I loved my Bolero speakers and every time Newbee mentions them I feel a tug at my heartstrings. Great final speaker.
