So far I'm a retard AND a dumbass, I had no idea.
Where did I mention a 1974 Pinto bought from a shack?
You're taking the point I made, making the worst out of it and inferring your own idea of what I meant which simply isn't there, so again, I'm not going to waste my time debating it but I will reiterate it once more just for fun.
What I'm saying is, if the unit is purchased from an authorized dealer the warranty should be guaranteed regardless of who sends it in so long as the other stipulations remain in tact. If you buy an amp that somebody has melted due to their stupidity that you bought out of your own stupidity, of course it shouldn't be covered, but under normal usage the full length of the warranty should be honored regardless of who previously and who now currently owns it.
You may now continue calling me names for no reason other than effect.

The amp was more than likely working when he purchased it, but how is AB supposed to honour a warranty on a used product? More importantly, why should they? Especially if it was more than likely given a "competitor's warranty" and they don't claim to be competitors? What if I go and rob someone of their equipment, break it, send it in for repair and say it still has a warranty? Is the manufacturer obligated to repair it? Certainly not. Especially if there are no documents to prove it has a warranty, or that it is MY product.
Just to prove my point, lend me one of your Bryston amps and let me damage it and send it in for repair, and when they don't because I have no bill of sale to proove a warranty exists on it I'll send it back to you. I'll pay for shipping.

Fair points. As for theft the same thing can be said about home audio, having the bill of sale is a perfectly reasonable request on the manufacturer's part which I inferred by saying all other stipulations being met.
My qualm is with non-transferable warranties that are seen among a lot of manufacturers and retailers today, which I think is pretty **** poor support. Whether it be six months, three years or twenty, it should still get support and whatever warranty is originally purchased with the product should be honored.
To the OP: Sorry for massive derailing.

The same thing can be done by the original owner; As far as SPL gear goes it is a bit tricky in that situation, what defines abused or a manufacturers fault? It should be at their discretion in that case, but again, my point is, support and warranty are very important and that idea seems to be falling to the wayside, which I guess lowers the cost of the item initially but bites you in the *** down the road.
/shrug - It's a sticky two-way street for sure.
Edit: Personally speaking, if I were the original owner I would simply send it in for repair before selling it, effectively achieving the same thing, the ability to abuse the system in many ways is definitely wrong, I agree but that doesn't excuse a company from simply refusing to offer you any level of support even if they won't honor a transferred warranty.

All this drama... Boo hoo... I bought a used amp and it blew up after 1.5 months, turns out it needs more powa then I originally thought... just cut the loss or send it out and get it fixed. Call ampmedics. Steve is a great guy, with good turn around times.
I just want some specs and prices on this new deadener....

shipping an amp like that to a US location (cuz there is no support in Canada, especially not under any warranty) is $100 each way. Then you know what's gonna happen when the amp is sent back to you? Say hello to Canada Customs.
lol $20 shipping. have you ever shipped a amp that size into a another country?
