Bowers & Wilkins

B&W

From Abbey Road to your home — engineering emotion since 1966.

The Position

For six decades, Bowers & Wilkins has set the reference standard for loudspeakers. Their diamond tweeters, Continuum midrange cones, and Aerofoil bass drivers are the voice of Abbey Road Studios, scoring stages, and the finest private residences. The CI 700/800 series brings that engineering heritage to architectural installations.

What Matters

Continuum midrange cone — the listening session is the review

Pre-voiced Trinnov and AudioControl DSP profiles

CI 700/800 Series: 50–60% dealer margin
