About the DM2A

The Bowers & Wilkins DM2A is a vintage three-way, three-driver loudspeaker system manufactured in England between 1972 and 1978. It features a 150mm DW200 bextrene cone midbass driver, a 25mm HF1300 dome tweeter, and a 25mm super tweeter, housed in a 47-litre bass reflex enclosure. The speaker offers a frequency response from 50Hz to 18kHz, an impedance of 8 ohms, and a sensitivity of 85dB. It was designed as a professional monitor speaker with B&W acoustic line loading to achieve extremely low distortion and high frequency linearity, making it capable of revealing faults in audio material and equipment. The cabinet was available in rosewood, teak, walnut, and satin white finishes, with dimensions approximately 710 x 270 x 330 mm and weighing around 22-23 kg. Recommended amplifier power ranges from 25 to 60 watts, with the ability to handle up to 70-90 watts without issues. The DM2A is noted for its durable rubber woofer surround and high-end tweeters and midrange drivers, delivering crisp and detailed sound.
