Product Summary
The Bowers & Wilkins CM8 S2 is a slim three-way floorstanding loudspeaker combining elegant proportions with technology developed for B&W's higher-end speaker ranges. Its dedicated tweeter, midrange and twin bass drivers provide a spacious, detailed presentation while maintaining a relatively compact footprint.
High frequencies are handled by a 25mm Decoupled Double Dome aluminium tweeter using B&W's Nautilus tube-loading technology. A dedicated 130mm woven Kevlar FST midrange driver provides clear and natural vocal reproduction, while two 130mm paper/Kevlar bass drivers work with the Flowport bass reflex system to deliver controlled low-frequency performance.
With 88dB sensitivity and a recommended amplifier power of 30 to 150 watts, the CM8 S2 can be partnered with a wide range of quality stereo and home cinema amplification.
These are a pre-owned pair that are in excellent condition. There are very minor scratches/blemishes present at a few particular areas that have been pictured, but there are no major flaws. They come included with all original accessories and packaging, although the boxes show signs of wear. Working perfectly as intended.
