Description
I used these as a side channel, a move and change in space requirements has necessitated switching to in-ceiling speakers. I have been very happy with the CDM1 SE; excellent clean treble and the bass response has been impressive. To be sure that they were performing at the top of their game, I had the tweeters serviced, the ferofluid on older tweeters tend to lose their fluidity. Tweeter coil channels were cleaned and new ferofluid added. Coils were cleaned and in in good condition and everything performing as it should! I take great pride in my stereo systems and make sure everything is performing to its fullest potential! These were missing original tweeter grills which have non-original replacements but serve the purpose for protection! Missing original jumpers on one speaker, but I fabricated replacements. The CDM1 SE is a two-way design rated at 88dB/2.83V/m sensitivity. Nominal impedance is rated at 8 ohms, going down to a minimum of 4.5 ohms. The 6½ Kevlar (woven fabric) woofer/midrange driver was redesigned for the CDM1 SE using some of the same technology B&W developed for its upmarket Matrix models. Notice the bullet-shaped nose cone smack in the middle of the woofers voice-coil, in lieu of a dustcap. B&W calls it a dispersion modifier. The tweeter is a 1 metal-dome unit. FROM A WELL KNOWN AUDIO REVIEW SIGHT. These speakers are not just warmly recommended—theyre wildly recommended. Bass-extension aside, along with the ability, perhaps, to fill a very large room with loud music, the B&M CDM 1 SE comes damned close to Class A at a price more in keeping with Class C. If youre in the market for speakers you must audition these. Youll then be able then to upgrade your electronics way beyond the price of the speakers!—Sam Tellig Bowers and Wilkins B&W CDM1 SE Special Edition Click images to enlarge Description I used these as a side channel, a move and change in space requirements has necessitated switching to in-ceiling speakers.
