    Rotel and B&W 704s?

    Hi all, I've been mainly hanging around club Rotel - I own an RCD-1072, an RC-1070 and an RB-1080. Now, it's time to get a pair of really nice speakers.

    I have looked at (listended to) several, including VAF Research (I-66), Sonus Faber GPs, Paradigm, Dynaudio Audience 72SE & KEF Q7. For a long while, the I-66 has been at the top of my shortlist ($4200 Australian). About 2 weeks shy of ordering, I decided to take a final look around. Why didn't I investigate B&W sooner?

    I listened to a pair of 704s ($4000AU) with an HK receiver and thought they were fantastic. The next logical step is to take my own electronics in and my own music for an audition.

    As I do not have time to do this for a few weeks, and there aren't too many posts about the 704s (and I am excited about this new possibility), could anyone with thoughts on/experience with the combo chime in and let me know what they think?

    Cheers, Ben

    Trading in 704s for 703s
    by mrpotto
    Ok, so here's what I've decided to do. I'm trading my 704s in for 703s (I have a deal with a local dealer where I get to apply purchase price of 704s towards the 703s so it will be about $800 out of pocket to do so). For now I plan to keep my HTM7 center (I've read on some audio forums that the HTM&...

    Hi guys (and gals!),

    I would appreciate your help in a tough (for me) choice! If you were to choose one of the following set-ups, which one would you choose? (this is for both music and movies, and some SACD/Audio DVDs, in a small-ish living room):
