Bowers & Wilkins CM10 S2 Floorstand Loudspeakers (RESERVED)

The Bowers & Wilkins CM10 S2 is the flagship floorstanding loudspeaker from Bowers & Wilkins’ second-generation CM Series, developed to bring many of the company’s higher-end technologies into a more accessible performance category. Designed for listeners seeking high resolution, powerful bass authority, and expansive soundstage realism, the CM10 S2 remains one of the most accomplished loudspeakers in the CM range.

A major advancement over the original CM10 was the introduction of the Decoupled Double Dome tweeter, derived from the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series. Mounted in the signature Tweeter-on-Top aluminium housing, this isolated structure reduces cabinet interaction and improves treble precision, air, and spatial detail.

The CM10 S2 uses a sophisticated 3-way bass-reflex configuration, combining dual bass drivers, a dedicated Kevlar FST midrange, and the decoupled aluminium dome tweeter for wide bandwidth and exceptional integration.

The CM10 S2 is particularly admired for its ability to combine scale with refinement. The dedicated tweeter-on-top architecture gives it exceptional:

• image precision
• treble openness
• depth layering
• soundstage width

while the Kevlar FST midrange preserves the vocal clarity and midband realism B&W is known for.

The triple bass driver arrangement provides:

• deep bass extension
• excellent room-filling authority
• strong transient impact
• superior low-frequency control

In practical systems, the CM10 S2 performs best with high-current amplification, as its impedance dips low enough to reward amplifiers with strong current reserves.

It excels in:

• high-end stereo systems
• large listening rooms
• home theatre front-channel applications
• high-resolution digital playback
• vinyl systems with strong source quality
