B&W CM1 S2 owners?

[YiannisK]

Does anyone own / have any experience with these? Quite limited info online (with the exception of two reviews from early 2015).

I am (re)considering these as a potential downgrade from my KEF LS50. I know it sounds strange considering the accolades for the latter.

If you have any experience of the Bowers Wilkins CM1 S2 please do share.

Many thanks

Stick with the LS50's, unless you're looking for speakers that will cure insomnia.

CM1s are that bad?

No, not bad, but very different from the LS50 you have.

To my opinion the LS50 is more like a monitor specialized in vocals and the CM1s2 a small speaker (with the right amplification) suitable for great performance.

What do you want with your sound/system?

Hi Reijer

I see what you mean and I have indeed observed that some tracks (vocals) are amazing through the LS50s. I am basically looking for an all rounder.
