Welcome to Bowers and Wilkins and the CWM7 Series
Thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins. When John Bowers rst established our company he did
so in the belief that imaginative design, innovative engineering and advanced technology were keys
that could unlock the enjoyment of audio in the home. His belief is one that we continue to share and it
inspires every product we design.

A reservoir box can be tted within the wall either

speaker to be used in landscape orientation for centre
