speaker selection help

KEF "Certified Factory Refurbished" speakers bought from Accessories4Less.com are subject to only a 5% restocking fee, new speakers at 10%, none at 15%. The certified factory refurbished I and my son have bought from them (Q300 pair, Q200c center, Q800ds surrounds, and iQ10 bookshelf pair) have all come out of the sealed KEF box being undetectable from NEW. Not one mark.

The 15% is from KEF Direct.

The 15% is from KEF Direct.

I understand that. KEF sends the vast majority of their B stock to Accessories4Less and they can have their own policies. The OP had said he was shopping there for a receiver, so why not do "one stop shopping?"

15% is a lot.

Ok so I did some research, and I found that definitive technology is closing out there old bp-8000st line and there are some seriously impressive deals to get on them. Best Buy said they had a pair of the 8060's so I went to go have a listen. When I got there it turns out that they didn't have them but the clerk told me that the new bp-9040's blow the 8060's out of the water and he did have those setup for demo. So I had a listen to them and they were very impressive, but my question is this: are the 9040's really worth the extra money? Are they that much better than the old 8000 series. BECAUSE I CAN GET A PAIR OF 8060's for $1000 or less a pair. But the bp9040's are gonna be around $1800
