The tweeter features Nautilus Swirl technology for clearer performance and it can be angled towards your listening area to fine tune your sound.

- A: AnswerI just had Bowers & Wilkins ceiling speakers installed with a Denon Dolby Atmos receiver earlier this year. I remember having these concerns of sound and function quality. 6 months later and many movies and music played, I couldn't be happier with it! I wont go to the movie theaters anymore. The quality of sound is so great, even now when I turn a movie on or play music, it brings a smile to my face at how clean, crisp and well balanced the sound is. Guests I have come over are wowed by the sound as well. I literally have had no problems with these speakers and I also went with a Bowers & Wilkins floor subwoofer, which seals the entire deal. Hope this helps.
Answered by MatthewM
- A: AnswerThis will make a great center channel. Another great option would be the CCM Cinema 7 because the midrange and tweeter are angled towards the listener.
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins Team
- A: AnswerHello, these in ceiling speakers feature a pivotable tweeter that allows you to direct the tweeter towards the listening position, providing a better sound stage and spatial effect. Apart from these, you can move up towards the reference series for better sound quality but for in ceiling speakers, we can recommend the ones above due to their tweeter design.

- A: Answermy opinion is you get what you pay for does the out put of your receiver or amp have moe than 150 watts of rms or 130 rms and you don't need all those watts for Dolby Atmos since they are used for effects or in surround for back round music. your mains are giving you the majority of your listening power.
Answered by Peter
- A: AnswerIts more about the set-up of your receiver or amp and how they where installed and acoustics of the room but generally speaking I'am a believer you get what you pay for especially with Bowers and Wilkins.

Worth Every Penny
Somethings in life you can be cheap on, not this. Your money is well used when purchasing a BW speaker system. I got the inceling speakers with marantz receiver and the clarity, quality, and dept of sound is amazing. I am blown away. Other brands like Bose or Fender or the cheap amazon brands got nothing on BW Speakers. Just perfection!

Phenomenal sound!!! 2nd to none!
We just built our new home and wanting the best quality in cieling speakers that put out the best sound, I knew I had quite a few options laid out in front of me. I listened to countless speakers but these B&W's were by far the best sounding speakers I listened to in the Magnolia Room. Installation was unbelievably easy. Once I turned on the receiver and listened to the speakers, I was absolutely blown away as they sounded even better than the demo I was given. Then again, the folks at BB never really turned the volume up as loud as I wanted. The clarity at higher volume was just unreal. The amount of bass these speakers put out was surprising. But the clarity.... WOW! I almost went with another brand to save some $$ but my philosophy of "once and done" pushed me to spend the extra cash, get the best, and now there is never the feeling of "coulda, shoulda, woulda..." I truly believe in reading reviews before I buy anything...consumer reports, product reviews etc. and want to make sure I have as much info before taking that leap. I'm here to tell you right now, you will NOT be disappointed in these speakers. I have a full set up with the CM10 S2's in the living room, matching center channel, and these in ceiling speakers in both the living room and master bathroom. I'm sold on B&W's and once you hear them, you will be too. Love, love, love them!!!

Excellent clarity and definition
I have much more expensive B&W speakers that are connected to a two channel stereo system in my home and have found them to be very accurate, clear, and able to create a wide soundstage. While these speakers are much less expense (although they are not inexpensive), they sound a lot like the the other B&W speakers I own. There is a quality to all B&W speakers that seems run through the whole product line. I thought I might need the larger 8" speakers, but that is not the case. These 6" speakers have a wide frequency range when paired with a good subwoofer in a surround sound system. In addition, they have a really cool design that makes installation quick and easy. I installed them myself and I had no problems. Basically, you cut the holes in the ceiling using the provided template, draw out the speaker wire, connect the positive and negative ends to the color coded connections on a frame that you then push up into the hole and lock in place. You then simply push the speakers up into the frames using the alignment arrows as a guide and punch the locking nuts into place with a screwdriver. Put on the magnetic covers and you are done....very secure and clean installation. They reproduce a movie soundtrack in amazing detail. I also listened to the B&W 6" speakers below these in the product line and these are clearly superior. I also listened to the speakers above these in the product line and couldn't tell enough difference to justify the higher price, so these seem to be the best value in the line-up.
