B & W cdm7nt vs. Linn Ninka

Same as Lugnut. I was looking at the same two speakers when I bought and ended up with the Linn (and I don't even have other Linn components), and now I'm on the brink of making them active! Considering your other components definitely stay with the Linn. Interesting you say the B&W are cheaper. When I was shopping around the B&W's were $500 cdn more than the Ninkas. Strange.

I see elsewhere that you've gone with the B&W's How's that working out?

Not to labour the point but I was wondering where you purchased and how much you paid. I have suspected that the local dealer had overpriced the B&W's at $3000cdn. Whereas the Ninka's (at another dealer)were $2500 cdn which I have confirmed as a MSRP elsewhere. As there are about 4 local dealers with very little in common in terms of product lines I might limit my patronage to 3 based on this information.

Thanks. I am looking at the same cables and I haven't seen anything close to that price. True about the Ninka stands but here in Canada the whole is closer to $2800-$2900 before the haggling.
