Why are there so many used B&W speakers for sale.

I'm curious about this.  The last time I looked, there were around 50 B&W speakers listed for sale, far more than any other brand.  Are owners upgrading, tired of the sound, the large production compared to other manufactures, or what?

I have listened to demos and thought they were and are excellent speakers but maybe a little bright for my taste.

Mass market loudspeakers that people enjoy and many upgrade by moving up the line.

Initially they sound great but can wear on you over time, at least in my experience YMMV

"First excitement, then fatigue."

This supports my argument that we each need two systems:

A hot, exciting system that you turn on after coming home from work. A system that "gets you going" quickly for maybe an hour or two.

AND 

A more laidback system for the week-end that you listen to for hours-on-end.
