B&W VM6 Speaker

For discreet home theatre or hi-fi stereo installations where a more contemporary aesthetic is desired, VM6 offers commensurate sound quality to B&W’s award winning CM1 in stunning design. Used on the wall or on its dedicated stand, the VM6 has ample bass extension to fill a room with glorious sound and can be teamed up with a B&W subwoofer for added performance.
Along with easy installation the VM6 offers 800 series derived electro-acoustic technology that ensures it is among the best performing speakers of its type. It comprises a 130mm kevlar cone bass/midrange driver integrated via a first-order filter network with a Nautilus™ tube loaded 25mm aluminium tweeter. The reinforced structural polymer enclosure incorporates a flowport equipped reflex port that can be modified by the insertion of a foam ring to help tune the speaker’s low frequency response to the listening environment.
Designed to provide an aesthetic match with the latest generation of softer styled plasma and LCD screens, the VM6 enclosure is available in black gloss finish. The table-stand, wall-bracket and floor-stand components are in hard anodised aluminum.
