Has the B&W CM1 ever been reviewed by WHF?

[Chokobolt]

Hello

I was just wondering if the B&W CM1 has ever been reviewed by the WHF-team?

If so, then what did you think about it?

Thanks in advance

I have been looking for some new speakers lately and listened at home to several speakers, these included Ikon1, rega rs1, b&w 685, M A rx6, neat motive 2 & 3 and cm1's i thought out of the lot the cm1's were the best just completely balanced, tight bass and natural mids, vocals were very good at first they don't impress but thats because they are so balanced.

What do you mean when you say they were unreal?

unreal = good

Hehe, well that's just great

sorry only 28 years old still got a few bad phases that pop out unreal being one of them. But i cant see any speakers under £600 beating the cm1's for a laid back long listen that can work with most types of music.

Hehe, and I'm only 18

What do you think of the B&W 685?

I actually preferred the 685 to the CM1. The 685 have more punch, a better tweeter and sound more exciting than the CM1 imo. But to know what you prefer you should audition them both. Shouldn't be to hard to find a shop that has both of them.
