What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?

Vienna acoustics Beethoven, I tried many speakers that could go louder or had harder driving bass, even the VA Strauss didn't have the mids and top end of the beethovens. Now they're serving ht duties in my tv room, but upgrading from them cost a small fortune.

Absence makes the heart grow fond, I should patent that. 

Every speaker I bought did something I liked that after time wasn't enough to keep the illusion alive, that said the speaker still excels at what I initially liked about them and each following speaker pair I buy gets me closer to all the things I liked best about each pair. 

so, if we're doing it right we should miss every pair we let go for whatever it was we liked about it in the first place, In my head I just keep going back to the ex girlfriend analogy.
