    You just can't go wrong when you get the best audio system available for the price. The overall sound quality coming out of this Bowers & Wilkins center speaker is unmatched for the price.

    Really a huge step up from the 600 series. If your able to spend the extra $500 for this speaker then it's completely worth it. Note the size and dimensions of this speaker and I had to get a larger entertainment center to house it. The sound is more immersive for movies and about the same as the 600 for just basic TV.

    True full range center channel, paired with 702 S2 fronts speakers, the center channel give clear dialogue and pairs seamlessly with the fronts in a surround system. A must for listening to the new digital surround formats.

    This was a major upgrade for my home theater. Better in every way over my B&W CM Centre S2 as you would expect. Much fuller sound. Voices in movies are more lifelike and clear.

    I replaced my B&W CM4 center speaker with this one and it blew me away how much better it is. The voice quality is excellent. It is a big speaker and I had to redesign my system to accommodate it but it was well worthwhile. Unlike the CM4, this one does not come with mounting bolts set into the underside. So I had to put it on a shelf (I actually used glass blocks with plastic pads for isolation - worked).

    So far so good. I haven't upgraded my av receiver yet, but this speaker still sounds good. Replaced a large paradigm center. Audio much more crisp. Looking forward to the new receiver being hooked up. Also, the finish looks great.

    Had purchased the B&W 702 S2 floor standing speakers and lacked center speaker power. These brought it all together and can't be beat for the price point.

    This is a substantial upgrade from the 600 series center channel. It blends perfectly with 702 s2’s. I bought an amp to drive it. The detail and clarity are impressive. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    I was hunting this unit to complement my 702 S2 stereo channels. This complements the system so well and my current 3.1 system sounds so much better for TV and movies.
