Bowers And Wilkins XT Series

All things comes to an end. XT range was discontinued. CM8 considered the best alternative.


XT 2


Either on a bookshelf, floor stand or fixed to a wall, the versatile XT2 performs brilliantly both in a stereo set up and providing the front or rear channels in an AV system. That’s down to ingenious cabinet design and cutting-edge acoustic technology, refined and developed for our most advanced reference speakers.

The XT2 features a Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, positioned on top of the speaker cabinet for better image stability. A single Kevlar® cone driver handles the midrange and the bass. As with all XT speakers, the body is formed from a single, seamless piece of extruded aluminium, creating an immensely rigid, stable enclosure and reducing cabinet coloration almost to zero.

You have the option of placing the XT2 on our specially designed FS-XT floor stand, or fixing it to the wall with an adjustable wave-bracket that comes included with the speaker. The XT2 is available in two finishes: natural brushed aluminum, and a stylish gloss black.

XT8


As either the front speaker in an AV system or in a conventional stereo set-up, the top-of-the-range, floor-standing XT8 delivers unrivalled performance with a sleek aesthetic that’s a match for any interior style, contemporary or traditional.

The XT8 is a true three-way speaker boasting a Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, a Kevlar® FST midrange driver, and twin composite paper/Kevlar® cone bass drivers. The bass units provide low-frequency bandwidth and power handling in abundance, giving the XT8 a real sense of scale and dynamics. As with all XT speakers, the body is formed from a single, seamless piece of extruded aluminium, creating an immensely rigid, stable enclosure and reducing cabinet coloration almost to zero.

Just like our reference 800 Series speakers, the XT8’s tweeter is positioned on top of the cabinet, providing wider sound dispersion, better image stability and improved phase integration with the midrange driver. The purity of the tweeter’s signal is preserved with a first-order crossover using just a single filtering component, hand-picked after exhaustive listening tests.

The XT8 is available in two finishes: natural brushed aluminium, and a stylish gloss black.
