Here is your chance to own a near flawless
HTMI in the rare and beautiful red cherry finish, driven since new by a Classe’
CA-101 in a mono bi-wire configuration from a non-smoking home where it has
been treated with the utmost respect.
I am only selling this speaker due to the
upgrade bug, having replaced it with an HTM2D to match the new 800D’s. It has
blended seamlessly with both the N803’s and N802’s I have had in the system.
(The N803’s are also for sale)
Arguably the center channel and subwoofer
are the most important components to a Home Theater system and as such great
care should be taken when choosing both. Vast amount of sound information is
transmitted through the center channel. It is not only dialog, although this is
of great importance, but a good deal of music and effects also are funneled
through this channel. Up for sale here is an amazing center channel speaker,
capable of reproducing the quietest whisper and loudest sound effect with
amazing clarity, anchoring the sound experience exactly where you expect you
expect it to be – directly from the center of the screen. I listen to a large
number of SACD recordings and have always been amazed at the capability of this
speaker to put the singer in the room with me. The only limitation of the HTM1
is the person who did the mixing.
Includes manual, B&W jumpers.
The speaker will be shipped in the original
box and packing.

Technical
highlights
Product of the Year 1999 Hi-Fi Grand Prix Award Audio Video Magazine - USA
Tweeter on top: B&W's Tweeter on top technology ensures that the
sound
remains focused and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is presented
with
unparalleled three dimensional accuracy.
Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for
loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally
created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests.
Matrix™: The basic construction of nearly all loudspeakers is exactly the
same
panels of wood-based materials, bonded to form a rectangular box. B&W
studied and evaluated how each aspect of cabinet behavior and the
efficiency
of various materials and construction methods affects sound.
Flowport™: Golf ball aerodynamics theory points the way towards lower
distortion reflex ports. Dimples improve the way the air flows over the
surface of
any object. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant
improvement over
simply flaring the port ends in reducing air flow turbulence at each end
of the
port; so you get less chuffing noise and less compression at high sound
levels.
