Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very nice addition to the home theater
Having recently finished a room in our basement, we wanted to refresh some of our older surround speakers. We visited the Magnolia demo room and we were blown away by the BW speakers. We started with new bookshelf speakers, then added subwoofer, center and these wonderful surround speakers. We could not be happier with the sound quality. The only caution I would offer is the monopole/dipole option is a bit misleading. There is a pretty good description of the different uses, but I did not realize that changing the switch would result in turning off the unused speakers - meaning when on dipole, the two 'center' speakers are off (no sound) and the two side speakers are used. Likewise, when going to monopole, the side speakers are disabled in favor of the two center speakers. What a difference is makes too, in a good way. I tend to switch them when I'm listening to vinyl, then back when we watch a movie. I cannot say enough good things about Bowers-Wilkins speakers. They are not inexpensive, but are very much worth the investment.

Great speakers..expensive price.
These speakers are great for rear surround but the price is a major downfall.

Great rear speakers for surround sound.
I was skeptical about these speakers having an option of monopole or di pole for sound. But after installing them I was amazed at the versatility it gives you. Great speakers for the rear surround. Mate perfectly when used with the cm10s.
