Can anyone recommend a hifi dealer that will post to Europe?
Discussion
I'd like to buy a pair of B&W 684 speakers. In Austria, the best price I can possibly get for them is £814 (900eur), however I have to pay cash. (It's still like this in Austria).
Since I'm not keen on buying such an expensive item with cash, I'd rather use my credit card and for this, I'm being charged a further 100eur for the privilege bringing the total amount to 1000eur!!!
I've found prices in the UK are much cheaper at around £684 per pair so this sounds far more reasonable however I'd like to know if a better deal is possible.
Does anyone know of a dealer that will ship to Austria (for a reasonable rate) and take a cc over the phone or on their website?
If there are any hifi dealers on here now, I'm quite prepared to do the purchase tomorrow morning if you can offer me a good deal.
I would wait until I come home to the UK over Christmas but I have a big Christmas party coming up and my KEF Cresta 2 speakers are just about to give up.
(On the KEF topic, I was severely let down by the sound of the KEF iQ90's. Not at all impressed. The B&W's sound far more natural. Perhaps a little less detailed but the balance is perfect making music sound almost live in front of you!)

Cheers for the reply. Unfortunately authorised B&W dealers are not allowed to ship abroad according to their dealer contracts and as such my request wasn't possible.I have however secured and paid for a pair from SpeakerPoint in Weybridge for £600.
I just have to pick them up when I'm visiting the family in December!
Very pleased and €380 cheaper than Austria!
