The CWM7.5 S2 shares the acoustic configuration of the 707 S2 and like its sibling, it houses a 5” Continuum Midbass driver plus a 1” Carbon Dome tweeter, coupled to a forward-firing Flowport for outstanding bass response from a relatively small footprint. It has a critically formed baffle constructed from glass reinforced ABS plus its own integrated backbox, ensuring retrofittable installation plus optimum performance. It’s an outstanding performer when used in stereo or multi-room installations, and is equally at home as the rear speaker in a larger theatre application. Bowers & Wilkins CI700 S2 Series of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers improves on the CI600 range by adding next generation technology such as Continuum drivers and Carbon Dome Tweeters. Upgraded materials in the cabinetry further improve performance and bring CI700 S2 closest to our in-room speakers in sound quality.
- 1" carbon tweeter: Pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail resulting from a Carbon Coating on our aluminum Double Dome Tweeter. The closest performance to our Diamond Dome Tweeters.

- Paintable Magnetic Grill: Paintable to match your décor
- Die-cast Chassis: Cleaner, faster bass.
- Resevoir Backbox: The ABS front baffle and backbox dramatically improves rigidity. The hinged retrofitable Resevoir backbox enables the kind of bass performance you get from floor-standing speakers. You'll enjoy clearer vocals with big, dynamic bass without a complicated installation.

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great in walls
Top notch in walls with expandable airspace and tuning for the port. You can run with or without the faceplates. It looks great regardless. There aren’t many options for sealed, in walls. I run these without a center and they are timed through a denon. They sound great.

Family Room speakers
I wanted to hide all my surround speakers. However, I did not want to compromise quality. These replaced KEF bookshelf speakers. Full and rich sound. love it when we play SACD's through OPPO player. I have a Denon receiver that can do 11.1 for a Family Living space. Definitely worth the investment.
