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.

700 series came out this year. You'll need to wait a couple of years for them to be wide spread. BTW, I have 9NT speakers and I love them too.

Just orderd a new pair of 703s with the new MF A5
they sounded very very good at the local dealer..
I listened to several other manufacturers- paradigm, polk, vandersteen, martin logan, and other BWs N802, N804 but nothing came close to the 703s

to my ears, this combo sounded better than Watt/puppy 7 driven by Levinson monos- reproducing classical music.

good to see another korean at the gon, I'm a korean-ameracan though.. an nyung ha sae yo?

Congratulations! Jungsan,You got good speakers. If the B&W 703's are matched well with the amp,they sound good. They are relatively cheap(?) and very good speakers.

What amp is the MF A5 integrated amp? I'd like to know it. It is not yet imported here. Solid state or tube amp? MSRP?

There are sites such as the Hificlub(http://www.hificlub.co.kr) and the Wassada(http://www.wassada.com) etc here. I love these two sites very much.

Jungsan,an nyung. I am glad to see you. I live in Seoul. Where do you live?
