How does the sound compare to traditional box speakers?

Thanks to Bowers & Wilkins’ advanced materials and engineering, the CWM8.3D rivals many high-end floorstanding or bookshelf speakers. With features like the Diamond Dome tweeter and Continuum cone midrange, it delivers clarity and musicality typically reserved for premium loudspeakers—without taking up floor space.

Can this speaker be installed horizontally for center channel use?

Yes, the CWM8.3D is designed to work both vertically and horizontally, making it ideal for center channel placement in custom home theater systems. The tweeter’s rotatable design allows proper alignment regardless of orientation.

What is the purpose of the required back box?

The back box (BB CWM8.3) is an acoustically optimized enclosure that ensures the speaker performs consistently by managing rear sound waves and enhancing bass performance. It also helps reduce sound transmission to adjoining rooms, which is especially important for multi-room installations.
