I own the CM7's along with the CM1 and CMC. I heard the CM9 vs the 7 and was impressed. The CM series have an excellent midrange, very real in detail. the bass should be acceptable without a sub unless you like the "boom" effect or perhaps with movies. the price sounds reasonable and I dont think you would be disappointed. Cant speak for the others as I have no experience.
B&W CM9 Vs. MA GS20 Vs. PSB Imagine T
Looking for upgrade from DefTech BP10, Preference is music, Powering Amp is ADCOM 100wpc, Powered Sub is Velodyne spl-1000 10 inch 1000W powered sub
Looking at
- B&W CM9 Demo Model for $2400 ($600 off)
- Monitor Audio Gold GS 20 Demo for $2200 ($800 off)
- PSB Imagine T New $2000 (no dollar off)
Thought PSB was rather small (Stereophile budget product 2009) for my 18' x 15 ' x 9 ft ceiling. 18 ft side is full open to dinning kitchen and interconnected to cathedral ceilings. Is it wise to go for a large speaker like 3 way CM9 (not reviewed much but has EISA award 2009) or 2-1/2 way GS20 (not reviewed much). Does it matter since I have a sub ?.
Has anyone listened to any of these speakers ? Any recommendations would be appreciated ?.
