So it didn't make the latest edition, do you know when you are likely to be reviewing them?

 

I guess it depends on when you get sent some.

..... Also, the CM1s are available in white. There's no mention of a white finish for the CM5s, CM7s, CM9s and now the CM8s, but the pic shows a white speaker.


Will the white finish be making an appearance on the rest of the CM range?

Thanks for the reply Andrew, poor show from B&W if they are hitting the 'shelves' this month.

Re: B&W CM8 Review.......

We're getting a pair this week, all things being equal, and if they show up in time they'll be in the January 2011 issue. Out in time for Christmas.

That's cool.  Looking to buy some new speakers after Christmas, so that's good timing.

Re: B&W CM8 Review.......

Any news on the CM8 Review? - looks like it didn't make the Jan issue. Looking for new pair of speakers and hoped to see review before the VAT went up.

Re: B&W CM8 Review.......

Just bought the Feb 2011 issue, and still no review of the new B&W CM8s - have they not sent any for review yet, or any prospect in next issue?
