About the CM5
The CM5 is a compact, high-performance loudspeaker designed for audiophiles seeking detailed, expansive sound in a modest footprint. It features a 165mm (6.5") woven Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver and a 25mm (1") Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter, delivering crisp highs and deep, controlled bass. The minimalist crossover and high-quality components ensure a natural, uncolored sound with excellent resolution and low distortion. The cabinet is available in real wood veneers (Rosenut or Wenge) or gloss black, with magnetically attached grilles for a clean aesthetic. The CM5 is praised for its ability to play loudly without strain, its even midrange, and its flexibility in room placement.
