Bowers & Wilkins HTM2D Diamond Center Channel Speaker

Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

General:
The Diamond series represents the best from Bowers & Wilkins, and this HTM2D center channel is certainly no exception.

Speaker drivers include a 1-inch diamond dome tweeter, a 6-inch woven kevlar midrange driver, and (2x) 7-inch Rohacell bass drivers. It's built extremely well and sounded great in our testing with vocals sounding nice and clear.

This particular center channel also benefits from a brand new tweeter and tweeter cover sourced directly from Bowers and Wilkins. This will be an upgrade over almost any center channel speaker on the market.

Please note this larger and heavier speaker will ship UPS anywhere within the lower 48 US states for a flat $300 which will be automatically added to your cart during checkout.

SkyFi Cosmetic Notes:

Some light scratches on the front surface, especially where the magnets on the grill cover attach. Some small nicks on a couple of edges. Overall condition is presentable especially considering this is a high-gloss black finish speaker.

More from Bowers & Wilkins:

Designed to partner the 803D, and even the 802/801/800 models when space restrictions preclude the larger HTMD, the HTM2D features the phenomenal diamond dome tweeter in a full 3-way centre speaker.

In the main Matrix cabinet, the Kevlar cone FST midrange driver is accompanied by two 7” bass drivers, their Rohacell sandwich cones combining with twin, rear-facing Flowports to ensure great dynamics and control.

Testing Process:
Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.

After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle.

During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement.

Our subwoofer evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, cone damage, or rubbing voice coils. We also inspect the input connections for damage.

After the initial visual inspection we connect the sub at our bench and perform a sine wave sweep from about 200 Hz down to around 10 Hz. During this sweep we are listening for excessive rattle or other signs of improper function.

If the sweep passes we then increase the input level to evaluate how the woofer performs at high output levels. If the woofer has built-in crossover adjustments or multiple connection options these features are tested at this time.

We complete the subwoofer evaluation by feeding the unit with an audio signal in conjunction with our house music system to see how it responds to low frequency content in real world conditions while paired with a full range system.
