B&W CM Center vs CM Center 2?

Longhornguy- I have the 802d's- just purchased last year. What is your take on the Emotiva amp? The CMC is very close to the CM1 which I had for a while. I liked them so much I took my time upgrading to the CM7, then 802.

I dont think the tweeter differs on either CMC. I would prefer a FST mid driver which would be my main reason for wanting the CMC2 in the first place. The frequency response is pretty close- but specs dont tell the whole story.

Its tough finding centers but they do come along.

I actually love the Emotiva amp. The seperation, soundstage and just 'clearness' of the speakers really comes alive with these amps.

I love the 802D's, it would be my dream to obtain a pair of these when I can upgrade my house to a larger HT!

For the 802's I wouldn't hesitate running XPA-1 monoblocks for each of them. You just can't beat the Emotiva price, warranty and power output combination.

I do like my current CMC and I like how it uses the woven kevlar woofer instead of paper-kevlar woofer.

Hi I had a CMC with my CM7's and got rid of it. The CMC2 is much better. Just picked up some 805s like you have but havent watched any movies yet.

Can you elaborate on how it sounds better than the CMC? Does the advantage of the FSR Mid-Range really show through?

I felt that dialogue was more intelligible and I think it is related to both the FST and driver configuration (tweeter placed above the FST).
