The CWM7.3 S2 features an integrated backbox that optimises its performance, cuts down on sound transference through walls and also makes it easy to retrofit. Its design incorporates twin 6" Aerofoil profile bass drivers, a 4" Continuum cone FSTmid-range driver and a Carbon Dome 1" tweeter, all proven technologies shared with the acclaimed 700 Series range of loudspeakers. These outstanding tranducers, when combined with high-quality, optimised, components on the crossover and a critically formed baffle constructed from glass reinforced ABS plus its own integrated backbox, produce a truly remarkable in-wall speaker. 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.
- 4" Continuum Midrange: Continnum is a woven material that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity right where you need it most- the midrange. Hear voices, guitars and other instruments in a whole new way.
- Dual 6" Aerofoil Profile Bass: Bass drivers need to be light, stiff and not ring like a bell. Aerofoil features incredibly light materials molded into a shape resembling an airplane wing for optimal performance. Instead of hearing one-note bass, you'll hear colors and textures with power and control
- 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.

Home Theater Sound
My B&W CI700 Series Speakers (7.3s & 7.4s) neatly fit into my walls provide the range and depth necessary for perfect surround sound in my theater room. The 7x2 surround sound along with the four (4) ceiling speakers make our cinematic experience so real that you feel that you're in the movie setting itself.
