Bowers & Wilkins CM9 wins EISA Award
Bowers & Wilkins is pleased to announce that the CM9 has been awarded European Loudspeaker 2009/2010 by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). The prestigious award is decided upon by representatives of the Hi-Fi reviewing community from across Europe.
The CM9 is a three-way floorstanding speaker. It features a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter, a 160mm Kevlar® FST™ midrange driver and twin 165mm paper/Kevlar® bass drivers for a refined yet room filling performance.
The EISA judging panel concluded: “This handsome floorstanding loudspeaker offers tremendous value for money, and features Bowers & Wilkins’ highly regarded FST™ midrange unit as part of a four-driver system. The woven Kevlar® cone of the FST™ driver is swaged at its edge and rests on a ring of foamed plastic that acts in compression. This novel arrangement improves the driver’s dissipation of unwanted vibrations but limits its excursion, so the unit hands over to twin 165mm bass drivers, reflex loaded through a dimpled port, for deep and extended low frequencies.
“Suitably partnered, the CM9 offers a very lush sound, big and expressive with a very realistic sense of musical dynamics. It’s one of Bowers & Wilkins’ most compelling floorstanders to date and at a price that seals its EISA commendation.”
The CM Series has long been a favourite among Bowers & Wilkins’ discerning customers. Offering a combination of high performance and exquisite styling at a very reasonable price, it sits comfortably between the exceptional-value of the 600 Series and the high-end excellence of the 800 Series.
It provides sensational audio performance, backed up by cabinets in a choice of exceptional real wood veneers. The addition of a polished gloss black finish offers customers the option of a completely different style statement, and at no extra cost.
