Listed as "refreshed" but I don't think so...
Mine were perfect except for a pin head size blemish on the finish and the boxes said nothing about being a refub. Other's I've bought in the past that were refub'd have always said it on the packaging. 2nd's due to the blemish?
Anyway, easily the best $444 I’ve ever spent. The finish is furniture grade rosenut and the silver accents and silver Kevlar drivers to match my Toshiba HDTV are gorgeous. The WAF on them is through the roof!!
They have quick and tight bass (which is surprisingly deep for the diminutive package), a sweet midrange and nice highs too; a definite winner.
