Your single most significant purchase mistake?

A 1990 Sony BDP CDP. Too long ago to remember which one but for “light but tight bass” read “next to no bass at all”.

Bob Carver Line Source Speakers. I bought these because I really liked the Bob Carver 350 Mono block amps. But were those speakers bad! Sucked power big time the needles on the amp were pegging even at moderate listening levels. And the sound quality was terrible. I too sold these to TMR at a considerable loss.

Oh, by the way they also had fantastic reviews. They are no longer made.

Onkyo and Emotiva home theater processors.

Wyred 4 sound SX1000 (no R) they were bad. Then I left them on for a week playing a set of speakers with woofers.

Magic. I hooked them back up to a set of my normal monitors (no bass) and left them on. They worked perfect..

Everyone said they were to dark, they were. BUT after a week of being left on, powerful mids and highs with small planars and ribbons.. It was night and day..

I still have them..

Spatial Audio X3. My endgame speakers. So badly wanted these to work out. Sadly, one of the most disappointing speakers I’ve heard or owned.
