Mrtennis, do you understand the purpose of Audiogon? By/sell used gear over the internet which does not allow for auditioning.
i assume that if you hated a component , you wouldn't have bought it.
so too, if you liked a component, but thought it was overpriced, you wouldn't buy it.

I have purchased many items without knowing whether or not I would like them. It's a crap shoot, some I like others not so much.
But to answer the OP's question: Dynaudio 1.3SE monitors. I expected big things from these speakers and was sorely let down. I knew how bad they were when I realized I kept turning the volume down to save my ears the pain.
Sequerra Met 7.7 Mk6. Purchased factory direct (through ebay). I'd just as soon listen to my computer speakers. And these were rated "Class B" in Stereophile. So much for professional reviews.
Oppo DV980h. Purchased new. Just an average cdp IMO. Not overpriced, just way over hyped.
