The mid-point speaker in the CT700 range offers superior performance at lower frequencies through its two 6" Kevlar® bass/midrange drivers.
Designed to slot discreetly into custom-built cabinetry, every speaker in the CT700 range can take on either front, centre or surround duties within a multi-channel theatre set-up. Each speaker used Kevlar drive units, and features B&W’s famous Nautilus tube-loaded tweeters – a pioneering technology that draws away and dampens distorting sound waves from the rear of the drive units, thereby producing a much purer sound from the front.

The top of the range 7.3 offers unparalled clarity combined with powerful low frequency effects thanks to a pair of whopping 8" paper/ Kevlar® bass units and a dedicated Kevlar® FST midrange.
The entry-level speaker in the CT700 range delivers outstanding spaciousness, imaging and definition through its single 7" Kevlar® bass/midrange unit.
