"Speakers" always up for sale--Poor Performers??


Whether it is on the 'GON, in newspapers or magazine classified, certain speaker "brands" seem always up for sale! I wonder if this is because when buyers take them home, they are grossly disappointed at their performance?? I realize some guys just need the money or WAF comes to bear on them. Any opinions on this often overlooked aspect of audiophilia??

To many "NUTZIES" out there, myself included. Here is the saga of ONE Rosewood pair of Meridian M-10s...........

I purchased second hand out of the old Audio Mart in Crewe Va. many years ago from a Ron Williams in Nevada(I always keep ser#s of all equipment i buy) I sold to my best friend, he put in Audio mart and sold to a person in Texas, then on to Florida and then California. I lost track after that as internet replaced Audio Mart. many years passed and was surfing on E-bay and saw a Rosewood pair of M-10s, I checked with owner and lo and behold they were the same pair. Think they went for 750.00.

B&W Nautilus 805s to 801s are snapped up in a day or so, as are Aerial 10Ts, Wilson Witt, Watt and Cubs and Pro Ac response 1sc. You can't give away Meadowlark or Solioguy ????????????????????????????????????????????
