Do not buy any Sonus Faber used

Just checked their web site and did not see anything under their general home page tabs or under the Sonus Faber tabs.

If you read it on the internet it must be true. No?

Same stuff from Parasound back aways.. It stopped me from buying JC-1 or JC-2 used here.
Later folks say nothing about it anymore on Parasound website.. but forget it. If they just flip back and forth, who knows down the line what the policy will be.
IMO they are shooting themselves in the foot over thier OWn inability to control thier distribution of thier own products.. So they take it out on customers.
Forget it!

I bought Bryston. (which also has a statement that warranty needs the original reciept from authorized dealer.. but at least they will fix stuff..)

Are you sure they aren't referring to warranty issues? That would make sense and be in line with everyone else. Surely they understand that some people sell their current speakers in order to buy new Sonus Fabers. I would want to hear it from them before I beleive it. Also the holding company that owns SF now owns Audio Research as well. Imagine telling Audio Reserach owners that they can't get parts for their components. A move like this would be marketing suicide.

If true, Sumiko IS committing marketing suicide. I just hope they realize it while they are still in business. They may wake up and realize that they are not the only game in town. It's just another example of the tail trying to wag the dog.

I bought a McIntosh MVP871, as a discontinued model, after the MVP881 was introduced. I was told it would include full manufacturer warranty. I sent in the warranty card and Mcintosh sent back a letter denying coverage because the dealer had exceeded the grace period allowed for discontinued products. I wasn't asking for service, just the warranty coverage. I don't expect to have a problem with a new component, let alone a McIntosh. It leaves a bad taste with me and I'll have to think twice before I buy, or recommend one of their products in the future.

BTW, I own Sonus Fabers and have never had any problems with them.
