Commentary
Special Edition Series compact bookshelf speaker system.
A 16.5 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
The diaphragm of this unit is made of Kevlar composite cone, which attenuates standing waves by making the movement of refracted sound waves through the material uneven, minimizing the coloring of sound.
In addition, a center equalizer is installed in the center of the voice coil instead of a dust cap to improve the diffusivity in mid-range and high-range areas connection between drive units smoother.
A 2.6 cm dome-shaped tweeter is installed in the high range.
Metal diaphragm is used for vibration plate, and cooling effect is enhanced by magnetic fluid.
The enclosure uses a bass reflex system with rounded corners to minimize the diffraction of sound waves.
There were 2 kinds of variations of the appearance, red ash and black ash.
A speaker terminal for bi-wiring and bi-amplifier connections is used.
The stand listed in the catalog is not a B & W product and is not sold in Japan.
In Japan, the speaker stand SA-CDM made by Sound Anchor Co. was recommended.
