Desliga o canal central no Receptor AV e experimenta!

B&W states that the CM1 was developed in tandem with the Nautilus 805S, sharing driver and crossover technology. When I compared the CM1 to my Nautilus 805 ($2000 per pair when still available), the predecessor to the current 805S, I found the resemblance to be uncanny. The buttery-smooth treble, a highlight of the 805 and the main reason I use it as my reference, was present in the CM1 in almost equal measure. I say "almost" because on certain tracks the tweeter in the 805 bettered the CM1’s in terms of ultimate finesse -- conveying the finest detail and air.

Regarding imaging ability, the CM1 was almost as good as the 805, which is a feat in itself considering that the CM1’s tweeter is mounted inside the cabinet as opposed to the 805’s top-mounted pod. The 805 did a better job of defining instruments in space, sounding more spacious and airy. The width and depth of the soundstage projected by both speakers were similar, with the 805 having a distinct advantage in height, perhaps due to the contribution of the externally mounted tweeter. Bass seemed to have a smidgen better definition with the CM1, maybe due to the speed of the smaller driver, but overall extension was in favor of the 805 -- it has a larger woofer and cabinet.

If I had to assign numbers, I would say that the CM1 has 80% of the 805’s performance, which implies compelling value when you consider that the CM1 costs 45% of the 805's price.
