Wrapped in an exquisitely veneered cabinet, the 10 inch drive unit paper/Kevlar® driver is driven and controlled by the mega efficient 500W audiophile standard Class D amplifier and switch mode power supply, delivering immense power when the signal demands.
This combination can move vast amounts of air yet not lose any of the control that is necessary for accurate low-frequency output.

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.
