I've not heard it but I'd imagine it's pretty good. It has the same drivers as the CM1 just in a different enclosure. I'm sure it's better than the M1.

I have not heard the VM6 myself, but the VM1 clearly sounded inferior to the M-1 during my audition. Even my wife could tell the difference, and they were being sold at the same price!
Unless B&W substantially improves the VM6, I would recommend getting the M-1 for rears. Also check out the 685/686 when you go to the dealer. I believe that the VM6 is getting very close to the price points of the 600 series, which should certainly match the timber of your other 600 series speakers.
The M-1 does have two big drawbacks: 1. The B&W-designed stands are grossly overpriced and they are your only option if you have to put the M-1 on stands. 2. The M-1 are a big pain to set up.Comment

The VM1 is older that the M1 and I do agree with you that the M1 sounds better. That said, the VM1 is targeted at a different application than the M1 so the VM1 is the right product sometimes.Originally posted by kmcheng
The VM6 is a totally different speaker than the VM1. The VM6 has the same drivers as the CM1. It's just a different enclosure. I'm sure the VM6 sounds much better, and bigger, than the M1.

Hi all,
I'm trying to decide on whether I should purchase a pair of DS3's or CM1 S2's to complete my 7.1 home theater setup. I have all CM series speakers in my 5.1 setup currently. According to the Dolby site I see the surrounds would move to the sides of my couch(at ear level) and the... -
I am in the process of auditioning speakers for my home theater/music system. I have been to the dealer several times and have auditioned the 600 series and the CM1's which both fit into my budget. I have also been ebaying and have seen several CM4's that look nice. I know I am kinda crossing several...20 August 2006, 10:00 Sunday -
I'm in the process of fitting out a 7.5m x 4.5m x 2.9m (24.75'x14.85'x9.75') room for HT.
The floor will be 19mm(3/4") solid timber boards on timber batons. The batons are fixed to a concrete slab and there's a 80mm(3") air gap between floor boards and slab.
My question is:... -
I'm looking into purchasing surround wall mounted speakers to complement my N804's and NHTM2 speakers. I'm not interested in investing into the SMCS rear speakers. My system will only be a 5.1 set-up . I checked the internet and from what I saw both models are approx. $450 each.

After that i upgrade the rears with 805s to be match for my 803s/htm3s.... More then one year Cm1 was boxed ... Few weeks ago i decided to organize my work room (3m x 4,5m)...
