New or Used Amplifier


I put together my Krell 20i CD player, YBA 2 Pre & amp with Genesis V speakers in the mid 90s’ and am still very happy with it so I kept away from the equipment shops.

Now adding HT so I will need 2 more amp along with misc equipment. I know major advances have been made in amplifiers in the past 20 years, but if you had around $3,000 to invest in an amplifier would you buy new or used?

That's the way I looked at it also, with understanding older equipment will be closer to its end of life. Is it fair to assume you can get 30 years out of a piece of equipment that is well cared for. The savings can be applied to extra equipment.
I am presently in New York, but my system is in my Florida home. It appears the dealer are more limited in Florida than New York. I also don't want to waste dealer time unless I am going to buy new.
