IVE JUST BOUGHT B&W CM1 DELIVERY TUESDAY
I cant believe it, I went out today looking for floorstanders after months of umming and ahhing so today I went out with my wife to show her some floorstanders to see what she thought. Well, as you can imagin she weren't all that impressed until we went into sevenoaks norwich and the salesman just happened to say how good the cm1s were and asked if I fancied a listen. Well as it turned out I was so impressed the thought of floorstanders went right out the window so just as a comparison I asked him to hook up a pair of 684s and my wife hated them and declared how much she loved the tiny cm1s . Im still stunned as to how quick it all happened especially as my wife is no hifi lover, what a result.
Enjoy your cm1's 
thanks guys i cant wait feel like a big kid . another thing is i cannot believe the step up in quality over my rs1 even though theres only 150 difference in price

Congrats, AA. They are one of a (very) few B&W speakers I heard and they are excellent. Well done.
Great speakers.
What finish did you go for?
Concur with above,
Excellent speakers, very good looking too........
Got the CM5s and I love them. I'm home auditioning the PM1s this week to gauge if there is £1200 difference between them.
Hi Audio Addict I am on the lookout for new speakers and I am as yet undecided I have had floor standers for more than 15 years I listened to b&w cm8 s which I liked and I am about to start listening I have made a short list bassed on reviews B&W cm8s proac d18 spender 6 s I would have never of thought of stand mounters but seeing your post has made me think . what stands are you using how high how much £ thanks for your advice on this one a path I was not even thinking of
wow, cool as ....... enjoy dude.
Very nice...I really like the CM's.
CM1's are good at disapearing in the sound stage...really nice!
thanks guys i cant wait to get em. toyota man i would def give standmounts a try ( bw pm1 ? ) as you will see and hear things i your music that youve not heard before as standmounts give such a more detailed cohesive sound ( not in all cases obviously ) like i said in my post i compared em to the larger 684s and ok theyre great speakers but as a direct comparison with the much much smaller cm1s they were just a much more balanced sound which in this case more than made up for the comparitively lack off bass (even though the cm1s were plenty bassy enough ) as for stands i will be using my atacamas for now but have just seen bw do their own matching stands but again this will be looked into as their may be better stands out there.
Well designed standmounts, have qualities that cheaper floorstanders find hard to match....enjoy your new purchase.

CM1s are one of the few standmount speakers which offer a great price to performance and they look stunning. Once upon a time I had them but now moved on. Some times I foundly miss them! Good choice!!

I don't agee with this. I find the CM1 quite expensive (£660 in Belgium and Germany) for what they offer, as do most magazine reviewers. 
everyone have different tastes and ive not read a bad reiew as yet so im happy
