Bowers & Wilkins CT700 Series

Bowers & Wilkins CT700 Series

Martins Hi-Fi is the second oldest Bowers & Wilkins dealer in the world — so when a new B&W range arrives that genuinely changes what custom installation can do, we notice. The CT700 Series is that range.

Designed from the outset for built-in home theatre installations, the CT700 Series brings Bowers & Wilkins' core speaker technologies — the same engineering that informs their flagship models — into a form that disappears into the room. Kevlar cone drive units, developed and refined by B&W over decades, give the midrange a clarity and control that cheaper in-wall alternatives cannot match. The Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter, a direct descendant of the technology in B&W's most celebrated loudspeakers, absorbs rear-facing energy rather than letting it colour the sound — the result is a high-frequency performance that is clean and extended without ever becoming fatiguing.

Timbre-Matching Across the Range

What makes the CT700 Series genuinely useful for system building is the rigour with which B&W have matched the tonal character across every model in the range. Whether you are combining in-wall and in-ceiling speakers across a larger room, or specifying a more compact configuration, the timbre and dynamic characteristics remain consistent. A system built from any combination of CT700 models sounds like a single, coherent whole — not an assortment of speakers pressed into service together.

Versatile by Design

The CT700 range spans multiple models, covering front, surround and ceiling applications. Each is engineered to integrate cleanly into a wide variety of room types and sizes, without requiring elaborate acoustic treatment or specialist plastering. For installers and for customers who want a genuinely high-quality home theatre without the visual intrusion of freestanding loudspeakers, this is a range built with real-world environments in mind.

Who Is It For?

The CT700 Series suits anyone building or renovating a dedicated home cinema or multi-room audio installation who wants Bowers & Wilkins performance without freestanding cabinets. It is particularly well suited to new builds and renovation projects where speakers can be fitted during the build phase. If you are looking for a B&W subwoofer to complete your system, the Bowers & Wilkins DB1D and Bowers & Wilkins DB2D are natural partners, as is the Bowers & Wilkins ASW610.
