Anyone take advantage of buying a B model combo? Is the money savings worth it? I see right now that if you buy a 950B and a NEW 7100 amp you save about $50 bux but also get the shipping free...anyone know what the shipping savings averages? Any pros or more importantly, CONS to getting the B stock stuff?
Thanks,
Bill

There have been a number of people in the forum who have bought B stock gear, and the concensus has been that it is indistinguishable from new.

I'm not sure what the shipping costs are for the 950/7100 combo, but for ground shipping I'd guess at least $50.

Bill,

In early October I bought a 950b/770 combo, taking advantage of the free shipping on the combo. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. The 950 looks and behaves like a new one. As for the shipping costs, I don't remember what the shipping was for a 950/7100 combo (I was looking at this too). But I do remember that the difference between a new 770+shipping and a 950b/770 w/free shipping was only $424, and that's how I justified to myself purchasing the combo. I'm glad that I did.

Jeff

Jeff:
In all liklihood I will be going the 950/7100/LFM-1 combo...shipped it is only about $50 bux more than the 950B/7100 and a LFM-1 shipped so I will be getting new.
Thanks for your input. As I move up the ladder of desire on separates...the savings go up.
Bill
