    I was considering selling my 802 Diamond speakers

    My wife moved the Christmas tree this year so my 802 Diamond speakers were pushed to the far corners of our living room onto the hardwood floor for about 6 weeks. They didn't sound nearly as good in their new location and consequently I didn't listen to very much music since late November. I thought maybe I was getting bored of the speakers and was even tossing around selling them and using the funds for other interests or other hobbies. Well we moved the speakers back to their usual location today back onto the carpet and I put some of my favorites on today (Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Jeff Beck, Norah Jones) and now I remember how great these speakers are and why I love music so much..........

    Happy New Year everyone and take some time to enjoy your music and your great B&W speakers!

      I've also found that going away on vacation for a while (listening only to hotel tv, etc.) also gives you a great new impression of your system upon returning! Sometimes you take for granted how nice your system really is until you miss it for a while.

        Yup... I also thought of selling my speakers for another hobby but so glad that I didn't. I made up my mind that I'm never selling my audio gear unless it's for upgrading purposes only. I also had those experiences where the system setup wasn't optimal and would spend weeks or more without listening to music and then once you got things clicking you get back into the enjoyment of it.

              Speakers for a Marantz 4300
              by marshahu_cr

              Please take a look at this hi fi rig I plan to get. My dad has a tight budget and he is 50 years and half deaf so surround sound and all high quality audio means squat to him. Just cos he cant apprechiate the high quality audio of a set of KEF speakers doesnt mean i cant. Anyway heres the rig

              Selling Speakers?
              by SiliGoose
              I'm getting out of HT. I want a nice stereo set-up and not much more. I've already sold my Anthem AVM-20. I'd like to sell off my DefTech speaker system and buy some nice bookshelf speakers & stands (I'm thinking hard about the Revel M20 http://www.revelspeakers.com/revelm20.html).

              How/Where to Sell DIY speakers
              by Paul H
              In case the title is a little misleading, I don't mean selling speakers on a continuous and large quantity basis - that would quickly become Work, a Business, not DIY

              I'm curious about if/how others here have sold their older DIY speaker creations that have gotten replaced by newer,...
