Does anyone know any online stores or sites where I can buy B&W speakers? Can't seem to find any myself...
Cheers,
Joe |

As far as I know, B&W can only be purchased from a physical store. They do not sell online to my knowledge, nor do they permit their dealers to sell online. |

B&W has a good dealer network so you should have no problem finding a store in your area. Listening to any speaker before you buy would be a good idea. |

jim, there is no such thing as an online dealer of B&W speakers. check B&W's website and you will see no mention of authorized websites. that site most likely is a grey market dealer. notice in the terms & conditions there is no warranty for products that they sell. There is also no mention of a return policy meaning they are not authorized to sell the products they provide. stay away from that place!! |

From that link -
FREE LOCAL DELIVERY
We will contact you to schedule home delivery.
Available in West Michigan only. No shipping outside this region.
Therefore he can't buy from them. They can only sell within their 'zone.' |

They may be an authorized dealer, but they can't sell outside their region. Some manufacturers will allow reputable on-line dealers (read very very few) to sell their products online if there's no dealer within a certain range of the customer.
For example, Rega allows Music Direct to sell their products if there's no local dealer. The customer needs to call Music Direct, and Music Direct might have to contact the distributor for permission to sell. |
