About this product

Design an audio powerhouse with this two-way Bowers & Wilkins in-wall loudspeaker. It produces tight, crystal-clear treble thanks to its 1-inch Diamond dome tweeter with Nautilus tubing and a Flowport airflow system. The 7-inch bass/midrange driver of this Bowers & Wilkins in-wall loudspeaker has an anti-resonance plug to reproduce audio signals consistently. Use of BB8.5W Back Box is mandatory. Fully Matrix braced, for extra rigidity and improved performance the back boxes feature bi-wireable cables that connect to the baffle electronically with a multi-pin connector. The Bowers & Wilkins CI800 Series Diamond range of custom installation speakers is engineered for discerning customers who demand great hi-fi and home cinema sound from loudspeakers that occupy minimal space. This exceptional range of in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers features all the key transducer technologies developed for the globally renowned 800 Series Diamond including Diamond dome tweeters, Continuum midrange drivers and Aerofoil bass cones. The result is outstanding levels of performance that once again raise the bar for custom installation loudspeakers.

Features
  • 1" Diamond tweeter

    Prized in highly specialised industrial applications, the unique properties of diamond make for a near-perfect tweeter material. Our diamond domes are grown like crystals in super-heated furnaces under laboratory conditions before being cut to produce our tweeter domes.

  • Continuum Cone Midbass

    Continnum is a woven composite that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity. Hear voices, guitars and bass instruments with precision and transparency.

  • Matrix Back Box

    Traditional In-wall and In-ceiling speakers use your wall construction as part of the speaker cabinet. This introduces unwanted resonance and rattles to the sound of the speaker. The Matrix Back Box is a rock solid enclosure mounting behind the wall surface that increases performance by dramatically reducing wall noise. See sku 5708762 for more information.

Bowers & Wilkins - CI700 Series In Wall 3-way Speaker w/4" midrange, dual 6" bass drivers, includes retrofit back box (each) - White
5.0(4)

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.

MartinLogan - Motion XT Series CI, 8" Midrange with Folded Motion XT Tweeter, 2-way In-Ceiling Speaker with Angled Basket (Each) - Paintable White
4.5(2)

The “HT” version of the XTC8 features a fixed angle mounting of the tweeter and woofer in order to provide a massive improvement in performance for listeners who are farther away. This is the perfect choice for when a speaker must be mounted apart from where the listener will be standing, walking or sitting, like in a home theater. The same holds true in whole house music systems where speakers can be located farther away from where the listener spends most of their time. In situations like this, the angled “HT” models provide a very real, and very noticeable increase in performance. The MartinLogan Motion XT CI series takes performance to the next level over Motion CI. The Folded Motion XT tweeter gives each model in the Motion XT series even more of the clarity, output, and efficiency that the standard size FMT is famous for. With Motion XT, we wanted to increase all aspects of performance over the Motion series, so we didn’t just stop at the tweeter. All Motion XT models feature woven Kevlar woofers for increased rigidity and lightness which translates into better sound. In addition to the larger tweeter, and lighter, stronger woofers, MartinLogan’s design and engineering team has fitted the Motion XT series with a more substantial chassis to strengthen the speaker and provide a more accurate sound, like a better cabinet on a traditional speaker. With Motion XT CI, the difference is in the details. No matter which Motion XT CI speaker you choose for your room, rest assured they are designed to provide a consistently high level of performance and can easily be used with other MartinLogan speakers to make creating the perfect system for your unique listening space that much easier.
