General:
The Bowers & Wilkins CM Centre S2 is a high-quality center channel loudspeaker that serves as the heart of any home theater system.
The center channel is one of the most important speakers in a surround sound setup, handling nearly all of the dialogue as well as much of the on-screen action. A quality center speaker ensures voices remain clear and natural, making movies and TV shows far more immersive.
The CM Centre S2 incorporates some of Bowers & Wilkins' most iconic technologies, including woven Kevlar drivers and the company's signature Nautilus tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter. It is also voice-matched to the CM7 S2, CM8 S2, and CM9 S2, creating a seamless front soundstage when paired with the rest of the CM Series.
Important to note, this speaker can also accept wiring if wanted.
Just like every pre-owned speaker we sell, it has been tested and its functioning great. Included among with the speaker will be its fabric grill cover which is magnetically attached and is in great condition.
SkyFi Cosmetic Notes:
Some hairline starches on the glossy finish, which is basically unavoidable with piano black. also some small marks on the edges. Overall condition is good.
Brand Background:
Excellence, uncompromised and uncompromising. The world’s most famous recording studios demand Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series loudspeakers, for no other reason than they represent the pinnacle of sonic supremacy.

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.
