I own a Furman REF20i I bought here used for $1,400.
I love it. I also own several Monster power conditioners.
The Furman line is decent, the retail prices of Furman are very high for what is given. So getting at least 30% off is mandatory, or even more is possible. If you are getting it for at least 35% off retail and it is new, the warranty is worth it. (I believe 5 years $50,000. protection for all attached electronics, with the REF20i anyway) The REF 15i must have a similar warranty?
They (Furman) give a nice smooth sound and it is as if a tube preamp has been added, without diminishing the bass.
Video is enhanced with better color and far less grain in HD.
The lesser (nonREF) Ferman are OK, but again very overpriced retail markup. A local dealer switched to Furman just to gain the huge margin on the product!!
Hope this helps.
