B&W 705S/Rotel amp and where to buy in NYC area?


Hello

I will be moving to NYC from Korea in September and would you recommend decent hifi store/dealers? Currently have a pair of Focal 1008be, but they're way too heavy to ship(they weigh around 40lb/pair, cost around 500$ to ship from korea to US)
I am considering B&W 705s and rotel amp(ideally with a usb-dac, since source will be PC). i see used 705s costs around 1900-2000$ on audiogon(705s costs around 3400$ new 3000 for used in Korea) and think its a decent price. and anyone have matched 705s with Rotel amps? i auditioned 705s but with marantz amp. although they are on brighter side, i find it sounds like between dynaudio and focal. any thought??

thanks!!

A couple of good Rotel & B&W dealers in NJ:

Homeworks Group, Ridgewood, NJ

Audio Connection, Verona, NJ

There are plenty in NYC as well. Just check the B&W and Rotel web sites - they both have dealer locators.

I have not heard the Rotel B&W combo, so I have no opinion on it.
