Bowers & Wilkins CM Series 2

The introduction of Bowers & Wilkins Decoupled Double Dome tweeter to 2013’s CM10 led to improved audio performance. So the next logical step was to bring the same technology to the rest of the CM Series. For the first time the entire CM Series features these new tweeters, while the CM10 S2 and the completely new CM6 S2 have tweeter-on-top technology for a more engaging performance.

For the first time, the entire CM Series features new Decoupled Double Dome tweeters, which use a thin aluminium dome surrounded by a thicker aluminium ring for the perfect combination of lightness and rigidity, helping prevent audible distortion. Complimenting this affordance is the refined design of the entire range, with all visible fixings removed for improved acoustic performance and protective circular tweeter grilles to preserve audio clarity.

The CM10 S2 and the new CM6 S2 also benefit from a tweeter-on-top design – a feature shared with Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced reference speaker range, the 800 Series Diamond. Isolating the tweeter in this way aids imaging and dispersion, creating a more lifelike sound and a better sense of space.

These tweeter advances are just the first of many improvements; the new CM Series has been redesigned to deliver vastly improved audiophile-standard performance across the board. New crossovers 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 CM8 S2, CM9 S2 and CM Centre 2 S2 plus, in the flagship CM10 S2, the additional clarity of a decoupled FST assembly.

The new CM Series retain the high-quality, real wood cabinets for which the range is known, but visible fixings have been removed for a cleaner, more subtle look. These visual improvements lead to acoustic benefits, as the solid cabinets and fixing-less fascias help improve sound quality. The new, acoustically optimised and protective circular tweeter grilles further enhance the look of the new CM Series, while also protecting the tweeter.

Sitting between the studio-quality speakers of the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond and the recently-launched New 600 Series, the new CM Series delivers stunning audiophile sound quality and subtle, stylish design perfect for luxury home audio.

The all new CM Series speakers are available in selected specialist Bowers & Wilkins dealers nationally in Gloss Black, Rosenut and Satin White finishes, except the ASW10CM S2 which is available in Gloss Black and Satin White. The FS-CM stand is available in Black and Silver finishes.
