CM9 If it's hard to put the sound of the CM9 into words, that's just as well. This top-of-the-range floorstanding speaker will fill even the largest domestic spaces with music so richly detailed, and so startlingly lifelike, that it will leave you speechless. The three-way CM9 delivers truly commanding bass with the aid of twin 165mm paper/Kevlar® cone drive units. An FST® driver, with its characteristic compression surround supporting the outer edge of the distinctive Kevlar® cone, is specially developed for outstanding midrange performance. The CM9's Nautilus tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter keeps high frequencies crisp and sharp all the way up to 50kHz and beyond

CM5 On a bookshelf or a speaker stand, the CM5 will give you a wonderfully big, expansive sound even if you don't have the floorspace to match. It's a slightly larger speaker than its sibling the CM1, with even higher sensitivity and power handling, and better bass extension. It partners a sizable 165mm Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver with a Nautilus tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, capable of keeping high frequencies crisp and sharp all the way up to 50kHz and beyond.

CM1 The CM1 may be ideal for smaller spaces, but don't let the size of this bookshelf speaker fool you. Thanks to the quality of its construction, it's capable of producing a sound that's a match for its bigger brothers. The partnership of a 130mm Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver with a Nautilus tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter helps the speaker handle musical detail with ease across the full frequency spectrum. Despite the size of the speaker, the CM1's bass is always deep and under control thanks to the CM Series' magnet and voice coil system technology, which keeps distortion to a minimum.

CM Centre 2 If you want to get the most from your movies, the CM Centre 2 is an ideal match for a pair of floorstanding CM9s or CM7s in larger home theatre set-ups. The three-way centre channel speaker features a similar driver line-up to the CM9, including two 165mm paper/Kevlar® cone bass drive units and a Nautilus tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter. In order to keep cabinet height to a minimum, the speaker uses a slightly smaller 100mm Kevlar® FST midrange driver.

PV1 The PV1, although elegant and stylish, owes its curved shape to sound engineering principles, those of a pressure vessel, from which the initials in the name derive. From a simple bubble to a sophisticated deep sea diving bell, a spherical form is the ideal shape to accommodate pressure differences between the inside and outside of the enclosure; and there can be considerable pressures generated inside compact subwoofers. The intrinsic strength of the form enables a relatively thin wall construction to the aluminium enclosure, maximising the internal volume.

FS-700/CM Designed mainly for the 705, CM1 and HTM7 speakers, but also suitable for other speakers of similar size, this elegant matching floor stand raises the speakers to the correct listening height and provides a stable, rigid support.
The heavy, cast iron base ensures stability and the extruded aluminium columns may be filled with sand to add mass and damping. One of the columns also incorporates a cable conduit.
