    Great center speaker for home theater

    After my ddedicated center speaker went out I went to Best Buy to research a new speaker for my home theater. I wanted a center powerful enough to fill a twelve seat theater since the center is the most active speaker during movie watching. My last speaker had trouble producing a full sound all the way back to the rear seats from the front of the room. I have been intrigued by the Bowers and Wikins quality and I also wanted to find a speaker that would sound good with my current speakers. This center has tons of power with a dedicated amp. The voices in the movie are audible no matter which seat you sit in with incredible clarity. My expectations were surpassed with this speaker and I will eventually replace my fronts with the Bowers and Wilkins match to this center. Thanks for the recommendations from the Magnolia Best Buy sales reps!

    Sampled and listened to several center channels before deciding on this Bowers & Wilkins CM Centre 2 S2. This center channel produces clear, articulate and loud dialogue for movie playback regardless of genre. I utilize separate amps for maximum output from my 9.2 channel dolby atmos surround sound setup and this center channel is a stellar performer. Could not believe the crystal clarity output from the CM Centre 2 S2. It is pricey but well worth every dollar from one of the very best speaker companies in the industry. If your budget allows it you will not go wrong with the CM Centre 2 S2 from Bowers & Wilkins.

    B&W CM Centre 2 S2 is a big beefy well built speaker. The sound is very well balanced and full with no overemphasis on bass or treble. Very warm, natural and accurate sound reproduction. Sounds great at low or high volume levels. Gorgeous looks. It is large (tall) so make sure you have adequate space. I highly recommend this center channel.

    this speaker is as powerful as the floorstanding speakers that I bought to go with it (BW CM10 S2's). The trio make a very balanced set. This speaker is equally good at classic, hard rock and adventure movies.

    This center channel speaker is technically a 3-way speaker, delivering crystal clear dialogue and warm tight bass. This speaker compliments the CM 9 or CM10 setup perfectly. Oh, and what a looker!!!!

    I have never spent this much money on a single speaker. I bought this based on customer reviews. I wasn't disappointed by a huge margin. This speaker is worth EVERY PENNY!!!

    What a Center Speaker should sound like

    I will call this speaker, well behaved. Male voices sound like male voices, female voices sound like female voices... Nothing gets added and nothing I can perceive gets taken away. I play it low and sounds great, then I play it loud and it remains consistently great. I have not hit the Xmax of the drivers yet but I don't have to because it gets loud enough for my livingroom and I love it. I expected the metallic tweeter to sound a bit bright it has not at all. This center channel is so well behaved I just love it. The dynamics are medium. Not low and not high. to my taste are just right and since the sound its not adding any unwanted resonances it just seamlessly matched my other speakers that by the way are not B and W but have great sound and it truly upped the sound from a so called matching center channel that I grew tired of the male voice resonance and female voices nearly disappearing. This one brought perfect balance to the whole system. This is not a cheap speaker for me so it took me a long time to pull the trigger. I am so happy with the desigh, finishing and sound of this center channel. Final note. I am driving this speaker with a high amperage capable amplifier. I have noticed the new receivers from just about everywhere are way over inflating their power ratings and some will not be able to feed this speaker properly. My point is, if you amp has no juice this speaker will not sound as good as it should be.

    I own the Bowers and Wilkens CM10 series and I have them powered by parasound amplifiers with a OPPO player. The very best sounding speakers. Crisp and very detailed. The center channel CM2 S2 is excellent.

    A center channel is one of the most important parts of a home theater setup. A majority of your sound originates from the center and this speaker is outstanding. I highly recommend B&W and bought the CM Centre 2 S2 along with 2 CM10 S2 floor speakers for my front stage. The sound detail is amazing. I recently invested in a new home theater setup, including one of the best 4K HDR TV's that just came out. I had most of my attention on the TV to start. In the end, I found that the sound was so impressive that it overshadowed the TV (which was $8000!) You will not regret spending your money on B&W. I expect these to last for years to come, even after the TV has become obsolete by newer technology!
