I tend to have to buy USED only because,
like stated above, by the time I CAN afford it,
It`s been discontinued at LEAST 2-3 years!
I DID buy a pair of Cerwin Vega AT-15 speakers
back in 1992 as a DEMO pair from Silo,
BUT I WONDER how many times they WERE PUSHED
to their limit BEFORE I bought them?
My TV (WHICH I still use to this day) WAS
ALSO a DEMO, at Fretter, I got it in
Summer 1992, WHO KNOWS HOW long it was on
BEFORE I got it? SINCE then,
I buy used, I`ve had an 80% success rate,
with used, ONLY got burned 3 times buying used.
HOWEVER, with TODAYS stereo gear,
You`re BETTER OFF buying used than NEW!
UNLESS you`re buying a TOP OF THE LINE piece!
