About the CDM 1 NT
The CDM 1 NT, manufactured by Bowers & Wilkins between 2000 and 2003 in England, is a high-quality bookshelf loudspeaker designed with B&W's Tweeter on Top technology for focused and time-sensitive sound reproduction. It features a 2-way vented-box system with a 165 mm woven Kevlar cone woofer and a 25 mm alloy dome tweeter, delivering a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz ±3 dB and a sensitivity of 88 dB. The cabinet is crafted from real wood veneers available in black ash, cherry wood, and walnut red finishes, with dimensions of 393 x 220 x 290 mm. The speaker is recommended for amplifier power between 50 and 120 watts into 8 ohms impedance. Special design elements include a Flowport reflex port with dimpled surface to reduce air turbulence and chuffing noise, and a bullet-shaped fading plug on the woofer cone to improve mid/high frequency diffusivity. The CDM 1 NT is praised for its three-dimensional imaging, transparency, and accuracy, though it requires a break-in period and quality amplification to perform optimally.
