I bought my first pair of speakers for my current system new. I ended up buying another pair of speakers used, which were a much better fit for my system. Now, I’ll be lucky to get 60% of retail selling the first pair, even though they’re less than 2 yrs old and have under 200hrs on them. I’ll probably never buy new again.
If you can afford to chance taking that kind of hit, more power to you. Otherwise, a good deal on a preowned pair in good nick can you find taking minimal to no loss in the event they don’t work out and you need to resell.
my 2¢. Good luck to ya.
