B&W CDM Series

In the never ending quest for Audio enjoyment the endless testing and reviewing of speakers continues. Valavien, fellow Audiophile, is currently upgrading his home theatre kit, he’s decided his (obviously inadequate) B&W 603 Series 3 speakers are more suited to a surround role and as such has undertaken the purchase of a pair of B&W CDM 9NTs.

The recent inclusion of the CDM CNT centre to his system will make for an impressive and very transparent front stage matched. The centre did have a short stay at my house for a bit of test. It was apparent from the outset that it was going to give very good bass response. The centre gives suprising low bass for a 6.5" driver, this is maily due to the dual ports that have B&W patented Flowport technology (making it look like and inside out golf ball). The speaker also delivered a sound that was crisp and clear (the Nautilus technology tapered-tube tweeter probably has a lot to do with that), although occasionally slightly hinting on the bright side. My Yamaha and setup for warmer sounding Wharfedales probably had a fair bit to do with that. Valavien's Marantz setup will undoubtably reduce this. The setup should be a joy for both music and movies.
