Bowers & Wilkins CM8 S2 - Pros & Cons

very neat and careful finish
sleek
minimalistic and attractive design
Dialogues are crystal clear and full of emotion
sufficient detail and a wide range
an even tighter and quieter look
CM8 is an exceptionally good speaker
sufficient power and detail
both timing and overall coherence are also very good
natural sound that is so easy on the ears
Build quality is extremely top-notch
great-sounding technology is available in a much more affordable speaker
this design is super fast and quick
spectacular - the clarity of vocals is stunning

the sound can actually tend to become a little aggressive if the volume is turned up high
the grills are not particularly tight
the Weng color in the S2 series has disappeared
sharp highs could sometimes be slightly sharp
the jump to bar on the Intro page
Speakers are impossible to predict by the numbers
dynamic expression is also a little lacking
the metal tweeter dome diaphragm is left entirely unprotected (except
unusually narrow enclosure
the soundstage is big from side to side
they went to on analyzing driver types is just staggering

Bowers & Wilkins CM8

The Bowers & Wilkins CM8 loudspeaker offers a stylish three-way design seemingly designed for cramped spaces, as it has the same footprint as a bookshelf speaker.
