Another pair of phenomenal speakers! B&W CM1
Regular viewers will know the I'm a real hi-fi buff/bore.
Whatever you're views take it from me that these little speakers offer the best bang for buck I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of gear in my day...
Georgous looking with a sound to match they'll cost you about £500 new but you'll get them cheaper on Ebay. Be prepared to pay up to £380 for a good set. You'll also need a powerful amp to get the best from them. We found a ten year old Arcam thru Ebay for £388. 100 watts per channel. This bad boy cost £1200 new, so a real bargain.
Exquisitly detailed with really articulate midrange and treble, due to their Nautilus derived tweeter, their bass extension is mindblowing considering their size. Just look at how deep they are though. Product design students should note the use of Kevlar for the bass driver. Almost completely rigid and very light. The tweeter is the cherry on the cake though. It is what you're really paying the money for.
Look great too in white I think. These have been biwired to the Arcam FMJ 22 with Chord Rumor cable, two runs, terminated with IXOS plugs at both ends, and the sound is breathtaking for the money. Seriously, I was blown away by how good my brother's system sounds. All bought second hand or ex dem it cost £750 but the components are worth £1600 at their rrp price.
Needless to say, my brother is delighted! So am I. I can't wait to get back round to hear them again...
