If there is a budget limitation and one cannot afford an FM ACOUSTICS there is no reason to dispair. "Good things take time" an old proverb says and there is much truth to that.

But there may be possibilities to reduce the wait. Investing in a well kept second hand FM ACOUSTICS is a better idea than accepting the compromise of buying a new product of a cheaper brand.

The very long lifespan of FM ACOUSTICS products means that the investment is not going to be outdated and the units keep their value for a long time, much longer than usual. The proof is that well kept second hand FM ACOUSTICS units are highly searched after. While the price for a decent unit is not "cheap" such an FM ACOUSTICS is often a better investment than other new audio equipment where the value may fall rapidly.

However, buying an unseen and untested product may bring negative surprises. The web is not a very safe place to purchase such items - as several buyers have reported.
Always ask for a demonstration of the unit and ideally see that it is combined in the same system as you are planning to use it in. Additionally, have the unit looked through by the local FM ACOUSTICS distributor or a careful and experienced engineer.

Anything from nearly new to totally ravaged and patched up units have been seen, some beyond repair. Beware of self declared "FM ACOUSTICS dealers" and "FM ACOUSTICS engineers".

Rather contact the officially appointed FM ACOUSTICS distributor who will best know if and where a second hand unit may be - or become - available.


A hint:
when considering an FM 300A, FM 600A or FM 800A make sure that the output stage of the preceeding equipment (preamplifier) is below 600 Ohm and can drive the 4kOhm input impedance of these power amplifiers with absolute stability. The preceeding equipment must not oscillate or create HF as this may heavily damage your speakers and amplifier.

Several preamplifiers and crossovers - of various brands - are not capable of driving this impedance and remain stable.
