This flexibility makes it ideal for use as a left, center, or right channel speaker, providing consistent tonal characteristics across the front soundstage.
Advanced Bowers & Wilkins Driver Technology
Two 8-inch Paper/Aramid Fibre bass drivers provide controlled low-frequency performance and impressive dynamic range.
A dedicated 6-inch Aramid Fibre FST midrange driver reproduces dialogue and instrumental detail with exceptional accuracy, while the 1.25-inch Nautilus tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter delivers refined high-frequency reproduction.
Together, these technologies provide the clarity and impact required for premium cinematic experiences.

The CT8.2 LCR utilizes a three-way open-box architecture and passive crossover design, offering installation flexibility for dedicated home theaters.
Its high sensitivity and substantial power handling make it an excellent match for premium multichannel amplification and sophisticated surround sound processors.
