The only one I bought and regretted was not a component, but an interconnect, the Nordost Valhalla. I guess I just cannot appreciate the Nordost sound, always a shade too bright to my ears. Plus the Valhalla, while not a bad cable by any means, just didn't have the dynamics that you'd expect for that price, at least in my system. Had a nice carrying case, though.
Can we talk?
At least a few who have been in this game long enough have made at least one significant impulse purchase. Who can blame you, given the loss of real-world listening opportunities?! What I'd like to hear about are the colossal mistakes: those involving an impulse purchase of a MAJOR BIG-BUCKS component, one that you ultimately regretted and sold. C'mon, were all friends here, unburden yourself! I want the stories behind those near-new Magico Q7's and Wilson Alexandrias that we see on Audiogon and on Ebay from time to time, and any others you think are worth mentioning. What are the specific features of the speaker that failed to satisfy? Thanks for sharing!
