The CM8 S2 is a slim, three-way speaker with a dome tweeter, midrange, and two bass drivers. With the speaker cabinet being only about as wide as the drivers, it has a very tall slender look, allowing it to blend in well in most rooms. The speakers come with an optional base that adds a more substantial look to them.
The removable grill is held on with magnets which gives the front of the speaker a very clean look with the grill off. We actually think they look great with the grey grill that comes with the white speaker off. The look of the silver trim, yellow Kevlar midrange, and black woofers is just super cool and appeals to our audio geek side. Of course, the grey grill and the white satin finish have a look that will fit especially well into a contemporary environment.
Bowers & Wilkins designs all of the speakers in the UK and has most of them made overseas in a plant they own. Build quality is extremely top-notch. B&W has actually made some videos of the production process inside their plant and we have to say it’s pretty impressive. Each and every speaker goes through a rigorous series of tests to assure it exactly matches the reference standard for that model.
