Depends on the discount, I've bought numerous B and refurbish with no issues, but if it's a small bump to new... I'll go for the new car smell.
I just did a quick Google and Sweetwater and Full Compass are both selling new for $729 so really the B Stock price at MF is only saving you $125... at that discount I'd go new...I am seeing a $300.00 difference.

I'll usually look for savings in excess of 25%, that justifies the risk (but I'm pretty anal about the visual appearance of the equipment... blemishes give me a rash). That price from AV Giant is close enough for serous considerationI seen a b stock at AV giant for 579.00. 729 is the lowest I have heard of new. Thanks. I may use that to bargain with at my local music store.

I ordered a small bass amp bstock from MF.
When I opened the package which was done
extremely poorly the speakers had been kicked
back into the speaker cabinet. I called them up
and they came out picked it up at no charge but
I don't think I'll be ordering in bstock or blems from
them in the future.
I did get a new LA610 from American Musical as
Bstock which looked like it had never been open
for $950.
So I guess you take your chances and hope
for the best.
Good Luck!
Somehow that paragraph doesn't leave feeling warm and fuzzy about the desk...On the mackie onyx's... I got me an onyx 1640 its absolutely amazing. Can't say enough about how much fun they are and how great they sound. The only downside I've found is that when it needs servicing they use all SMT and won't sell parts to non-authorized repair centers. Finding an authorized one is difficult and even they have a hard time getting parts out of mackie.
Great advice!! I'll buy just about anything for the right price, either for the future or to flip for a profit... nothing worse than pulling something out a year later to find performance issues after just giving it a cursory plug-in immediately after the purchase.If you buy B-stock or used, make sure you give the unit a full workout as soon as you get it. Don't let it sit for a month before plugging it in. And make sure to test *all* it's features and audio routings. You just want to discover any flaws earlier rather than later.
