Hi all,

I know there are many hifi enthusiasts amongst us, so just wanted to ask your thoughts on purchasing an older B&W centre speaker.

I’m soon to move house and will have to leave behind my current centre as it’s embedded in the wall.

I have a dated set up but I can’t really spend loads upgrading the whole thing now.

I have B&O Beolab 8000’s as my fronts, and 2 Canton CD100’s as my rears.

(I won’t have space for a sub)

Looking through eBay, I spotted a B&W CDM CNT and CDM CSE at great prices (£150-£185)

They are massive but seem like great value to use as a centre for a while.

Anyone have any experience on what these older ones were like?

As an alternative, there are some cheap B&W VM1’s going at £70......but they are not in the same league.

Any advice welcome!
