Bowers and Wilkins CM1 s1

I saw this little CM1 s1 speakers on sale and I just had to buy them because I always wanted to own B&W CM series as they look stunning.
How do they sound? There are many reviews online, but most accurate review I found is here is here. In short, what you get is about 80% of performance for 1/3 of price of 805n. Of cos they can't replace 805's  as my main speakers but they do offer a lot at this price point. They are better sounding than B&W 685 speakers for sure and they can be very enjoyable to listen if you don't over force them at high levels with too demanding music tracks. Size of speaker just cannot cope with that. But simple jazz or even rock music in a smaller listening area is where they shine with great imaging and control. Only minus would be their low sensitivity at around 84 dB per W/m. But, if you have proper amp with enough power to drive them this shouldn't be a problem.
 Annoyingly I lost one of the screws from speaker terminal and already ordered new one from official B&W shop for about S$20.

Even my cat approves them. :)

Upgrades to my AV - 50' Sharp TV LC-50LE460X , Teac CD-P1260, Rotel RA-1060

It's been a while since my last update. I have many new gadgets, and I've just sold my previous Rotel amp and tuner.
This post is dedicated to my upgraded living room system , as follows;

• 50' Sharp Aquos TV LC-50LE460X - digital ready - it's not a smart TV because I still use my WDTV for watching movies and streaming music/ internet radio.
• Integrated amplifier Rotel RA-1060 - comes with remote control. Unit is using large toroidal transformer. Power is more than suffitient for my living room 60watts rms per channel (8ohms).
• Interconnects are QED Performance Graphite Stereo Interconnect and QED Qunex (that I use for CD as sounds much better). I've just ordered same brand speaker wire with Nakamitchi plugs thus I'll review it later.
• CD player Teac CD-P1260 I've ordered it online from USA since I couldn't find it in Singapore. Amazing sound for it's budget price. It plays mp3s as well.
• My cable TV /Samsung HD receiver is also connected to amplifier seperatly via it's analog outputs.
