Im done asking questions at CAF, that place sucks now. Anyways, I was wondering if there was a good reason why the 8600's were selling for more on ebay than the 860's?
Good reason? I can't think of any - the 860 is better with its 2 yr warranty and pro-mode and higher pre-outs (although 4 v vs 6.5 v is not that big a deal). Maybe the sellers selling the 860s are not as credible? Perhaps the 860s only have a 1 yr warranty when sold on Ebay, which decreases their value.
You dont get a real warranty no matter which model you get. I believe that the only warranty you receive is from the online store.
The online dealers maybe getting a better deal on the 8600. And seeing how there are only a few differences between the 2 models, they are able to sell them at or near the same price therefore making just a little more of that almighty $
Yeah, that was implied. My point was that the online store warranty dropped to 1 year on the 860...and Ebay is shady.
The 860s are selling for as much as 20 dollars cheaper than the the 8600;s, but whatever. Can someone explain to me what Pro-Mode is and whether I will ever use it.
I believe pro mode give you a 3 way x-over instead of the 2 way. It probably does something else too but I'm not sure what since I don't own one.
You are correct. The xovers on the 860 are MUCH more flexible than the 8600...I learned this the hard way.
If you ever plan on running your highs off one amp and your mids off another, then you'd want pro-mode.
