Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why?

Has anyone ever sold speakers you "really" liked for various reasons. Many members may rightfully respond".... are you crazy after all the looking and comparing" However such a rote answer, does not answer the thread

Why did you sell them?? 1)You needed the money?? 2)Were moving a long distance? 3)Too big (or small) for the new living space?? 4)Just wanted to own a speaker that was newer, different and sounded better??

Unfortunately I will have to dealer with reasons 2 and 3 in the a few months. Nevertheless, I could sell them local and buy the same when I am settled

However, the more interesting and provocative reason for this thread is #4....the itch, bug, jonesing for something "new", and possibly "better" in sound quality.

All opinions, comments, real life stories welcomed!!!

Here are the KEF speakers that I've sold in the past:

KEF Q90
KEF 103/2
KEF Q300
KEF Q15.2

I sold a pair of Tannoy Mercury M2 speakers because to get the best out of them in my system I needed a sub.

I sold a pair of Glow Audio Voice One full range speakers because I wanted to try single Full Range speakers on a budget. The sound wasn't for me and they didn't match the decor in my house so they had to go.

So I guess most of the reasons as to why I've sold gear is:

4)Just wanted to own a speaker that was newer, different and sounded better.

Sold my Wilson Audio Witt MKII speakers paired with a Pass Labs X250 to see if I could down-size and still enjoy the music. What was I thinking? That didn't last very long.

Enjoyed a pair of the original Vandersteen 2C's from the mid 1980's for many years. Sold them due to new, smaller listening room and very low WAF. ;-) No regrets, though: started me on a trade up path that has resulted in a much better (to my ears) system.
