Foolishly bought a pair of speakers and:
1. Didn't negotiate hard enough and paid $2K more than I should have
2. Listened to the dealer when they said it would work in my room
I naively assumed that a dealer would actively try and solve my problem rather than just sell me anything they could. The dealer (who shall remain unnamed as they are noteworthy) had zero interest in making sure I had a good solution for me, just moving a unit. There are other dealers who are great and I have vowed not to be that guy in my own business, but it is quite frustrating when it happens.
Fortunately, I found The Music Room and I was able to execute a trade for a DAC and the whole thing only cost me $500 rather than $2500 which is the loss I would have taken selling them.
