RMS Power: 200 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
Peak Power Handling: 200 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

Worth Every Penny
These speakers pick up much more than other speakers I have owned, including other lower-end Bowers & Wilkins sets.
The price seemed a little steep initially, but after hearing the quality and all the tones they can recreate...I can't boast enough about these speakers. They were genuinely worth every penny.
Also LOVE the magnetic cover. It really adds to the clean and sleek design of the speaker.
Note: if you like a lot of bass, I recommend getting the sub along with these. I live in an apartment and the bass is decently loud enough (I usually use the included dampeners), but could definitely be more dramatic. I will most definitely be purchasing the sub in the near future.

Bowers & Wilkins CM9 S2
These speakers are a great bang for your buck, considering the high quality cabinet, crossovers, drivers, and overall build. Because they are not man-made and are mass produced, those savings are passed on to the consumer compared to the highend line, such as the 800 series.
There is significant savings by purchasing this line of speaker. The upside is they come close to rivaling the 800 series or equivalent,
