Hello Fellas:
Trying to decide on a sub and came across the B stock at SVS. Has anyone purchased one of these subs. They currently have a PB12-Plus for $749. They say there is nothing wrong with them but why wouldn't they sell it at regular price of $949. Before I snag this sub, appreciate any opinions, thx.

    They can't legally sell it as new if previously sold & I wouldn't want to pay the new price for used gear.

    They do experience returns when 2 subs from different companies are ordered with both companies offering 30 day return policies. It only cost the shipping to try it out. B-stock has become a normal part of the internet/mail order business model, and can be done when you don't have to build, staff and maintain a brick and mortar store.

    Same warranty, most B-stock is return/open box or slight cosmetic damage. Heavily damaged stuff never makes it back to customers.
