How many of you experienced "Buyer's Remorse" after you bought your audio product?
I have experienced this several times... when I bought my SVS, my Mosaics, my Polk LSi, my Onix Reference, my Sonus Faber.... all of them left me with some sort of a buyer's remorse one way or another.
I'm sitting here and I have a good chunk of a checking account... this is from my selling of all my audio gear in hopes of pulling the trigger on the Vantage. All the gear was bought under my own steam of working part time during school weekends and over summer breaks... so essentially, I just got back most (if not all) of my part time job savings.
It's all in my account now and I sit here looking at it and I know that I set aside this budget for the Vantage. I know that it isnt a wasted purchase since the deal's good and the Vantage will hold its resale value for quite some time (3+ years since it just came out)... it's not like buying a car or some computer part which will crash in resale value before the month's over. So I know my money is no longer "liquid" but in "speaker form" with the Vantage.
However, even knowing that, I still feel "hurt" once I add into the checkbook line "Vantage - debit $X,000" ... I know it's going to be painful.
Just some last minute jitters I guess....
I guess I can rest easy in knowing that with all my buyers-remorse experience, they usually last no longer than a week.
