I have just purchased B&W 704 in cherrywood color. Does anyone know if this cherrywood becomes slightly dark over time. I am having second thoughts if I should exchange this for the darker rosenut or black. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, what is the typical exchange policy with an authorized B&W dealer?

Hi,
Cherrywood becomes about 10% darker over a year. It you want more than that - I suggest Cherrynut - the most popular color... (PS it can even bleach out a little if left in direct sunlight!)
Dealer's exchange policies vary - depending on if they needed to special order for you or it is a stock item and what their 704 turnover is etc... Call your dealer soon (IE today / tomorrow)if you want to change and be prepared to repack VERY carefully... They need to be able to resell as new..

I just responded to a thread by ssalvari and told him that the 704's are a fine loudspeaker and assured him that the 704's are not muddy, bloomy or lacking in the mids - a decent all-arounder, although they are more laid back than the 703's.
With that said, I must admit that, for my ears, the... -
I was able to find a dealer with a large B&W range, so I could compare the 6xx and 7xx series... and I fell i love with the 704. There is just so much more definition throughout the dynamic range than any of the 6xx series... I had no idea it would be that obvious! When switching from 603 or 604... -
I spent some time comparing 704 / 703 / 804S during a serious listening session. I was looking to either buy the 703 (and use my 704 as surrounds), or an amp (I drove home with the RSP1068 + RMB1075, see post Rotel section). My results:
704: familiar sound, but in this context a little...
