About the HTM1
The HTM1 is a magnetically shielded center channel loudspeaker from Bowers & Wilkins' Nautilus series, manufactured between 1998 and 2004 in England. It features a 3-way closed-box design with two 165 mm paper/Kevlar cone woofers, one 150 mm Kevlar cone FST midrange driver, and a 25 mm metal dome tweeter. The speaker delivers a frequency response of 49 Hz to 20 kHz ±2 dB, with a sensitivity of 90 dB and nominal impedance of 8 ohms (minimum 3 ohms). Recommended amplifier power ranges from 50 to 250 watts. The cabinet is constructed with real wood veneers available in Black Ash, Cherrywood, and Red Stained Cherrywood finishes, measuring 318 mm high, 783 mm wide, and 316 mm deep, weighing 21 kg. It incorporates B&W's Matrix cabinet technology to reduce resonance and improve sound clarity, and the tweeter-on-top design enhances stereo imaging and time coherence. The HTM1 supports bi-wiring and is magnetically shielded for placement near televisions. Originally priced around €2300 per unit, it is a premium center speaker designed to complement high-end home theater setups.
