Bowers & Wilkins CT8 LR - 3-Way Closed-Box System with 1x1.25"Tweeter/6"FST Midrange/2x10"Bass Speakers

Stationed to the left and right of the screen are two upright speakers. The CT8 LR features a spherical midrange/tweeter head that can be tilted towards the listener to retain a focused delivery, plus twin 10” bass units, as in the surround speaker.

Tweeter

For the Custom Theatre range they have taken their development of the Nautilus™-derived tubeloaded tweeter a stage further. Following the same principle as their adaptation of the midrange tube (see opposite), Bowers & Wilkins’s have replaced the single, long tube with a whirl of tightly-packed, smaller channels contained in a shallow cup, each of which absorbs a portion of the unwanted sound energy from the back of the diaphragm. Even at frequencies well beyond human hearing, this tweeter sings like a bird.
