Bowers & Wilkins Reference Series CWM7.4 S22.5-way multi-purpose in-wall speaker

Stealthy sound from British hi-fi experts

Bowers & Wilkins may be best known for their high-performance bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. But the British hi-fi company also makes custom-integration speakers that disappear into your room, like the Reference Series CWM7.4 S2.

This high-end in-wall speaker is ideal for an custom-installed home theater system. Mount it vertically as a left- or right-channel speaker, or install it horizontally as your system's center channel for exceptionally clear dialogue and center-stage sound effects.

2.5-way design for ultra-smooth sound

The CWM7.4 S2 features two 4" Continuum™ cone drivers for textured midrange and punchy bass. They're paired with two 4" aramid fiber/paper cone bass drivers to round out the low end.

This speaker uses a "2.5-way" crossover design, which means two woofers cover the lower frequencies, while two more go higher into the midrange for a smoother transition between drivers. 

Smooth, natural highs come courtesy of a 1" carbon dome tweeter.
