Bowers & Wilkins CT8.4 LCRS – Reference Custom Theater Speaker

Complimentary White Glove Delivery | Private Showroom Auditions | Travel Reimbursement Available for Qualifying Purchases

The Bowers & Wilkins CT8.4 LCRS is a high-performance three-way loudspeaker from the prestigious CT800 Custom Theater Series. Designed for reference-quality private cinemas, it delivers exceptional clarity, precise imaging, and powerful dynamics in a compact, vertically oriented enclosure.

Originally developed as a space-saving alternative to the CT8 DS surround speaker, the CT8.4 LCRS offers the versatility to serve as a front, side, or rear channel in a sophisticated multichannel theater system.

Advanced Three-Way Driver Technology

The CT8.4 LCRS incorporates technologies derived from Bowers & Wilkins' acclaimed 800 Series loudspeakers.

A 1.25-inch Nautilus tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter delivers detailed high frequencies, while a dedicated 6-inch Aramid Fibre FST midrange driver reproduces dialogue and musical detail with outstanding precision.

An 8-inch bass driver provides controlled low-frequency performance and the dynamic authority required for demanding movie soundtracks.

Flexible Custom Theater Integration

Its compact vertical design makes the CT8.4 LCRS particularly well suited for installations where space is limited without sacrificing reference-level performance.

The three-way closed-box architecture allows the speaker to function in multiple positions throughout a dedicated cinema, including front left/right, surround, and rear surround channels.

Engineered for Cinematic Precision

The CT8.4 LCRS combines a carefully engineered cabinet, advanced driver materials, and controlled dispersion characteristics to deliver consistent performance across the listening area.

Its high-performance design makes it an excellent choice for dedicated theaters featuring premium projection systems, immersive surround processing, and powerful external amplification.
