Key Features

CM9 Front Towers

• Three-way design with dual 165 mm (6.5”) paper/Kevlar woofers, a 150 mm Kevlar FST midrange, and a 25 mm aluminum‑dome tweeter—engineered for powerful, detailed sound. 
• High sensitivity (~89 dB) and broad 30 Hz–50 kHz response (±6 dB), with tighter control at 56 Hz–22 kHz ±3 dB. Requires minimal power for commanding performance. 
• Elegant aesthetics: tall, gloss or wood veneer tower with magnetic grilles, adjustable spikes or plinths for ideal positioning. 

CM Centre 2

• Matches the front towers in timbre and design with a three-way layout: one 150 mm Kevlar midrange, dual 165 mm bass drivers, and 25 mm aluminum tweeter. 
• Designed to seamlessly integrate into the front soundstage, offering consistent tonality and scale across all audio content

Performance & User Impression

In cinematic settings, the CM9 towers deliver “positively monstrous” presence—layered, expansive soundtracks with impactful low-end and composed midrange. Sonic images are coherent and spacious, though a slight midband warmth may emerge with less clean electronics.

The CM Centre 2 blends seamlessly—dialogue remains detailed, integrated, and tonally consistent across channels for natural movie soundfield cohesion.

Highly rated by users, the CM9 front pair receives praise for excellent bang-to-buck audio construction, clean dynamics, and the ability to fill large rooms with musical depth.

Whether you’re focusing on immersive home cinema visuals or high-resolution stereo music playback, the B&W CM9 towers and Centre 2 create an integrated front soundstage that’s hard to beat in its era.
