I said no to a pair of Apogee Divas for free. Like you, to me holy grail speakers. They were in good shape operationally, but a mess cosmetically — and I'd made a vow No More Projects.
Do I regret it? Rarely — specifically when my friend who did take them tells me how great they are, how stupid I was, and every variation on the theme. I'm sick of explaining my reasons to him and I tell him to shut up — but I have to enforce it with seriously raised voice, because he gloats in it.
BTW, he did nothing about their appearance and they look like shit. So there!
Clever guy, your friend. He knows that he can keep razzing you for quite a while longer, before he slays you one day when you see the speakers beautifully restored.
