Well I have to say the one time I've been with the wife shopping and she totally blew me away. We were at a Bestbuy doing some shopping so I said while we're here listen to these speakers, B&W CM9, she was taken by the sound. She said I want them how much are they? Well after recoving from the shock I learned that she had sent the BB guy to get them! I told her that these are great but I will eventually need a compatible center speaker, she said well lets get one, lets just get new back speakers also, I didn't think I was that good this year! So I ended up with the CM9's, CMC2GB center, and CM1's for back speakers. They only had the CM9's in stock so that's all we have so far....but hooked them up and they sound terrific!

Thanks for letting me share, Ken

    I already know that she wants to go to Mexico in Oct., I'm hoping that's it but I think she wants to go to Arinzona with me in March also, that can't happen! Mexico is a go but me and some friends go to Arizona for spring traiining and golf....no women allowed! It's a rule I can't change. I'm really excited about the speakers...can't wait until they all arrive but in the mean time the towers are great.

    I got CM9s a few weeks ago. They really are some awesome speakers. Pick up a CD or download YoungBlood Brass Band. A good album is "Center:Level:Roar"
    CM9s mids and highs really shine with that CD.
