Default Delights Or Regrets?

So i am sitting here looking at my home theater equipment, thinking about my current equipment and the equipment i have had in the past and have sold.

I sold my ps3 about 2 months ago and purchased a panasonic bd-60 as my main blu ray player and have never looked back. I do not miss the ps3 at all. I absolutely love my BD-60! Sure the ps3 was a good blu ray player, had some good games and so on, but for some reason i was never won over by the ps3, even though i have always backed sony in the console wars, there was just something about it that i did not like! Anyway i have never made a decision on my equipment that i have regretted and have never said "MAN I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT"

my question is have you ever purchased or sold something in regards to your HT and regretted it or purchased something and have been delighted with it? If so what was it?

I have had my stuff for about 6 months now and I can't say I regret or can say what delights I have from them yet.

Well back in November 2009 I bought a Focal Sib&Co 5.1 system which included a Cub2 subwoofer. WOW it sounded great until I listened to a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 683's, so my younger brothers have the Sib&Co 5.1 setup and I'm working on rounding out my new 5.1 system. I just need the left and right surrounds which will be a pair of 684's and then I just need the sub. I already have a B&W center channel.

New pics coming soon....

Sold a pair of B&W 703's to a friend because I thought I could live with out them (so far, that's true) and I wanted the money to buy new toys that the wife wouldn't give me the approval for (until I said.... "hey, I'll sell these" )

Well.... I'm probably going to be repurchasing them once I have an actual HT..... I guess I don't regret it too much, because I'd be using them now, but I have other speakers I wouldn't be using, so it all balances out (somewhat)

I must say that I am really happy that I sold my Sony speakers and got the Energys, then I added the eD, and now I am truly happy whenever I hear anything. When I first heard them I was like wow, how did I ever go without them. They way my system is right now I love watching movies or listening to music.

I have no regrets.

Well I only started building an entertainment system about 3 years ago. Of my purchases thus far I'd rate them as such.

Delights:
Playstation 3 -
Really cannot say enough good things about this system. I have played all three major consoles this generation and the PS3 is by FAR my favorite console. Going beyond just gaming it's just a fantastic Blu-Ray/DVD player and multimedia system.
Sharp Aquos "42 HDTV - Had it for about 3 years now and couldn't be happier. Really nothing bad I can say about it.
Onkyo 605S Receiver - I really like Onkyo receives. The 605 is my first and it still works great after 3 years. Though I probably will end up replacing it with a newer model sometime this year.
APC 10 Power conditioner - Only owned it for a few months but I've been impressed with it thus far. Living in Florida we get a LOT of thunderstorms which knocks out electricity or causes surges. The APC 10 always hold up well.


Regrets:
Nintendo Wii -
I had huge expectations when I bought this console shortly after release. It has failed my expectations on almost every count.
Polk HTIB - This was my first set of external speakers/subwoofer. They were a decent starter set, but no longer meet my needs. I am finishing the process of completely replacing it with individual pieces of far higher quality.

Technically speaking, I have had regret for every piece of electronic I have bought. There is always newer and better stuff coming out, that I end up wishing I would have waited...

even when i bought my PS3 slim, 1 month later the 250gb version came out.
