@nycjlee - I'll add B&W 700 series to my list. Thanks.
I think one person here (another thread) said these are the "best speakers at any price". I suppose that's not true, but it does seem like a lot of people like B&W speakers.
Over here, someone says the 705 is vastly better than the 702.
Anyway, here's my list so far:
Having never visited any audiophile show room, how valuable is it given that the speakers might sound entirely differently in my own listening room. I was thinking just buy, try and return if I don't like. But return shipping can be costly and it also takes time.

The 705 is vastly better in all sonic respects - including the bass, if you buy one of B&W's many subs. It even costs about the same or less. ... The 705 is really the star of the range & most reviewers are saying so.Someone else said B&W's tend to be "warm". That might be a good thing for me. I'll have to listen and see.
Anyway, here's my list so far:
- Sonus Faber Chameleon T (not finding any color I like...)
- Tannoy XT 8F Mediun Oak
- Dynaudio Excite X34 Rosewood
- B&W 700 series Rosenut
