You don’t have to be a geek to appreciate audiophile-caliber equipment. Britain’s B&W announced the CM7, a new floorstanding loudspeaker that would make any audio geek giddy with excitement.

Kickin’ bass is just part of this tall drink of water. It also includes a 1-inch aluminum, tube-loaded, Nautilus style tweeter, a 5-inch FST Kevlar midrange driver, and a 6.5-inch paper/Kevlar bass unit.

To some, it may seem a bit pricey, but those are the same people that are jealous of your good looks and hover around your windows trying to get a peek at your home theater.

The CM7 is available this month. Start contacting your local dealer because that’s the only way you’re going to get it.
