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!!!

Funny as I heard the DQ10's and DQ 20's fairly recently and they just didn't sound how they used to ;)....they were rebuilt by a DQ guy and he said they were more detailed than the original 20i's (the more detailed of the two 20's) and they still had that special mid and were dynamic. To me they were just dark sounding. Things have really changed in speakers. I think that's why Stuart Tyler was always taken so seriously. He was one of the first designers who really made his speakers disappear. He also helped make the British sound what it is today. That mid bass hump that so many love and think is natural sounding is what folks still love today. It's very pleasant and masks the design difficulties in this price range.
