Sancho Panza Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Do they require large amounts of WPC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 They will need some power. You have power. I think your Acurus 200x3 is up to the task. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHASLS2 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Here is a side by side with my Paradigm Signatue 2v3. So far the CM9's seem to hit hard and blend in nice with the SVS SB12NSD and Paradigm 490CC center. The owner before me only put around 15 hours on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 So how is the Be tweeter compared to the cm9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 So how is the Be tweeter compared to the cm9? Hard to say until i get some hours on the CM9's. The CM9's seem to big down deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think I see a problem, you have to run speaker wires to the CM9's to get a fair comparison;) Great looking set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I think I see a problem, you have to run speaker wires to the CM9's to get a fair comparison;) Great looking set! I am very happy with the CM9's so far. They seem to be very open and clean, as good as the Paradigms with Music or just a hair better. Gonna try some LFE stuff without the sub tonite.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Never heard that particular speaker, but B&W makes some very fine speakers. These should not be nearly as power hungry as the 800 series. How is the midrange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 So your saying the cm9's are as good as the beryllium tweeter? Wow that's crazy. That's cool if they are. What the price in the sig2's new? Cm9's are about 3k right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Bomber Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 CM 9's are nice but too much money I have sets of 600's. The CM's use more parts from the 800's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronH Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 So what's better? RF7II or Cm9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 So what's better? RF7II or Cm9? I never heard the RF7ll. I did have two sets of the older RF7's. They seemed harsh to me, but for raw power i could crank em up and feel the pressure waves easy I really don't want to go back to any big towers, but if one day a set of used RF7ll's come up local for a good price i will jump and try them out. The CM9's came up for sale just 12 miles from my house so i had to give em a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Bomber Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I love my 683s,685 and CDM1-SE plus the Cornwall I's.I did have to put the CWs on smaller Marantz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
