My thoughts on the new CMC2 center channel

[btf1980]

I decided to upgrade my CMC center channel to the new CMC2 center channel, and I can wholeheartedly say that it has been a very sound decision. In terms of size, the CMC2 is a lot larger than the CMC. The CMC2, while far from being the largest center channel in the world is still deceptively heavy. It weighs about 40lbs.

I thought it would be a better match for my CM7's and it would improve my front stage dramatically over the CMC, and that it did. I watched a lot of dialogue heavy films these last few days to see how well it would perform, and all I can say is stellar. It just seems to be much more of everything the CMC was. Concise, superb clarity, nice detail and crisp. Also popped in some multi-channel SACDS. Headhunters by Herbie Hancock was exquisite.

This is just the first week, can't wait until everything is fully broken in.

btf1980,

Excellent. A center channel is so important, I'm glad the CMC2 is performing so well. And it looks excellent as well.

Hi btf1980,

Very nice center. :T

will be great with the CM7.
now you need a pair of CM9 to replacec the CM7 (going to the rear! :B )

good choice.

Trust me, i've thought about it. I've auditioned the CM9 and they are fantastic. If I wanted a stereo only setup, then I would choose them over the CM7.

I think I will stick with CM7 for now, but you never know in this hobby. Nothing is ever concrete.

I believe, i believe.....

I have listen the the CM9 too. (in stereo)...but a set ALL CM new serire is a very good choice.

with the CM9-CM2C-CM7 you have a great speakers setup. B&W is not all seire 8.

i have the 803D-Htm2D-805S but the new CM interesting me very well.
(and like wrote in the HT never ending...)
