i bought some mtx amps from ebay that were refurbed,to me,better than buying used.you usually get a bass controls,screws etc...and you know they work and were tested.most have "birth sheets also.

if its a good deal,i say go for it!!

300 shipped for 1000 watter,how much new are they?

you can get a brand new one from there for $50 more!!

Yea, mine has worked for 7 months solidly.

Bought mine from hifisoundconnection, they have some ZX1000.1's for cheap, pick one up, they are very nice.

if the refurb is done by the manufactor they are good. generally they upgrade the parts if it was a problematic part, and they go through more rigirous testing before they leave the company

^^^^^ what he said. they are tested and retested before being resold. and not all refurbs are actually used. some just fail the original tersting and companies cant legally sell them as new for whatever reasons.

all good answers. most people dont give refurbs a chance. if factory rebuilt, they are literally as good as new. they are tested very well before sent out, no worries on their performance usually.
