B&W CM SerieS 2

B&W is using decoupled tweeter technology on all models in its new CM 2 series of speakers and has added a completely new model, the CM6 S2, which has a top-mounted tweeter like that on its award-winning CM10 and flagship 800 Series Diamond. B&W’s new decoupled double-dome tweeters use a thin aluminium dome surrounded by a thicker aluminium ring to give both lightness and rigidity, which reduces distortion. The CM10 S2 and the new CM6 S2 also use B&W’s ‘tweeter-on-top’ design—a feature shared with Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced reference speaker range, the 800 Series Diamond—a design technique that improves imaging and dispersion to enable a more life-like soundfield and a better sense of space. ‘ These tweeter advances are just the first of many improvements; the new CM Series has also been redesigned to deliver vastly improved audiophile-standard performance across the board,’ said Geoff Matthews, of Convoy International, which distributes B&W in Australia. ‘ The crossovers now use respected Mundorf capacitors throughout while anti-resonance dustcaps are employed across all bass/midrange drive units for smoother response and lower colouration. Upgraded internal wiring and nickel-plated terminal blocks round out the technical improvements for the entire range. These improvements augment existing CM Series technologies such as FST midrange drive units in the CM8S2, CM9 S2 and CM Centre 2 S2 plus, in the flagship CM10 S2, the additional clarity of a decoupled FST assembly.’ Available now, prices range from $1,299 per pair (CM1) to $5,700 (CM10) and all speakers are available in Gloss Black, Rosenut and Satin White finishes.
