I sold a pair of Alon Lotus speakers I really enjoyed when I moved to a much smaller 800 sq ft living space. Traded them actually for the speakers I still use today a pair of original JMlabs Micro-Utopias, which I love and are by far the favorite speakers I have owned. They are also perfect for my space and my PP 17 watt tube amp so I feel lucky to have made the trade. Plus my gf was thrilled the Lotus's were very tall and very black and quite imposing.
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.
