Re: [DTXpress] Which amp?

2005-03-26 by Charles Baer

I've been using headphones and listening to the list discussion on the 
amp issue.  This
MF ad link came the other day, B stock (refurbed) units going at $150.  
The site says
they come with the standard 1-year warranty.  Theoretically you aren't 
buying at any
greater risk than new products and I am postulating that the B stocks 
have actually had
a better going-over than the new ones ;-)

I went for a BX1200 ($150) along with a KX to pair up for extra bottom 
end ( as well
as bass practice ).  They are out of the BX1200s at the moment but look 
like they are
expecting more at the same price.  $150 looks good for the KX1200 on 
it's own since
other vendors are still asking around $200 new.  If you want to pair 
them like I plan to,
you can try ordering the BX now at the B-stock price and see if you get one.
