B&W CM9 S2 Floorstanding Speakers - Gloss Black

Bowers & Wilkins produce some of the most well-regarded loudspeakers in the world, having a range of award-winning products in a number of price points. The CM series (Bowers & Wilkins' midrange speaker selection) has recently seen a drastic upgrade; implementing new technologies, new aesthetic and even an entirely new speaker; the CM6. This newly developed CM series has been dubbed 'CM S2 Series'. The CM9 S2 is the little brother of the flagship CM10 S2 model, and sees many of its superlative technologies and engineering philosophies handed down into a slightly more compact profile. The CM9 S2 offers a dominant presence however, thanks to its impressive two 165mm Kevlar bass drivers and 150mm Kevlar FST midrange driver. These drives are paired with a plethora of high-quality, specifically chosen components to offer an exemplary level of power, tempered with an adept level of precision and transparency, the likes of which is extremely hard to come-by in a speaker at this price point.
Every meticulous microdynamic is not only heard, but felt and experienced through the CM9 S2, thanks to the integration of a brand new Decoupled Double Dome Tweeter. Higher range frequencies are now conveyed from a far lighter, yet more rigid and isolated tweeter component to offer a truly superior sound response, allowing every vocal, hi-hat, twinkle or other delicate sound to be reproduced at an astonishingly realistic level.
This impeccable power and precision is harmonised with a ravishingly sophisticated looking aesthetic. Available in three high quality finishes (gloss black, satin white, or rosenut real wood veneer) and tempered with classy, metal and minimalistic trims - the CM9 S2 looks as glorious and as refined as it sounds
