    Default B-Stock experience?

    Anyone here bought B-Stock Ascends? Happy with them? How bad were the "flaws".

    Thanks!

    Thumbs up

    All 5 of my speakers and the TP-24 stands I purchased were B-Stock. I've not really been able to detect any defects. Apparently, they'll show up under a flourescent light.

    My 340 mains are B-stock and there is one tiny mark at the bottom/front of one of them. Virtually invisible.

    There is no sonic difference in the B-stocks. That is a definite.

    I ordered a B-stock CBM-170 to complete my surrounds and as far as I can tell, it looks brand new. They must have some really rigorous standards that these speakers have to meet, because I couldn't see a single thing wrong!

    Well, ya'll talked me into it. I just order my new HT setup - 340s across the fronts and 2 pairs of HTM200s for the surrounds... all B-Stock! Now, the wait begins!!

    Thanks for the advice!

    How do you find out about the B-stock? I would certainly be interested being the poor college student that I am. Even if its only for the speaker stands or whatnot.

    You need to call and ask.

    My 170s are b-stocks and I still can't find anything wrong with them.

    For those who have the B-stock, did you have to call for awhile to find them? Or did you just get lucky. I'm just curious because a few saved bucks goes a long way (especially for food, which I will be lacking when I buy these, good thing I'm on a diet)

    I wouldn't think they would have a lot of B-stock, but as long as the electronics are ok, I sure know I wouldn't mind a little scratch or two.
