About the B&W 700 series and CDM NT series


Hi.

I love the B&W 700 series(703,704,705) and CDM NT series(9NT,7NT,1NT) very much. I feel that those are good speakers. Many people and I recommended them on the sites in my country and they become used now much than before there. They were used rarely before. I live in South Korea.

But I have searched them on the Audiogon. Although the former is better than the latter in respect of sound quality,I find out the 700 series less used than the CDM NT series.

Are there any reason for it? I'd like to know it. The ugly design of the 700 series'? The cost push of theirs? Any other reason? Thanks.

The usual B & W basher delivers his highly predictable and useless drive-by posting.

I like the new 7 series and the older CDMNT series as well. B & Ws are excellent at classical especially the ones equipped with the FST midrange. I think you made a good choice. Having auditioned several speakers over the past few years... Some have been better, some have been worse, but none have prompted me to spend my hard earned money....yet! I did add a B & W sub for my 2 channel and its doing a great job of integrating.

A friend who owns a store tells me the 7's are selling great. I agree with Silvmoon, in a few years you'll probably see more on the used market.
700 series are not selling very good in my local B&W dealers in canada. People either go for the budget 600 series or the expensive 800 series. They found 700 series are lack of characters.
I personally didn't like the 600 series. I would have liked to have gone for something in the 800 series. Big bucks price tags and the wife tapping her foot disapprovingly convinced me otherwise.
