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.

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?

I'd like to recommend the used Arcam FMJ CD 33T,23T,23 for cd players for the combination of the MF A5 and the B&W 703's. They have tonal balance of bass/midrange/treble,resolution and musicality.

Although I have not heard the Arcam cd players with the MF A5,I have done the MF A3,A300,A3CR and the Arcam 33T,23T separately. So I can guess the disposition of the MF A5.

The B&W's like lots of clean power.

Glad to see you. See you later. Best Regards.

I have reconsidered choosing cd player. If the MF A5 integrated amp is matched with the Arcam FMJ CD 33T,23T and 23,the system may sound uncouth because of the response speed difference between the cd player and the amplifier. I feel that the Arcam 82T is more suitable than the 33T,23T and 23 for your system. The 82T is likely to be the more safe.

Happy Listening.
