The CM8 is an elegantly proportioned, slimmed down version of the award-winning CM9. A true three-way loudspeaker that will appeal to discerning customers who demand the very best sound quality, but have limited space in which to achieve it. Like all the models in the CM Series, the CM8 uses crossovers of remarkable simplicity and quality, so what you hear is that much closer to the sound of the original recording. In its functional perfection and understated elegance, it’s nothing less than a masterpiece. For the finish, you can choose either one of two real-wood veneers in Rosenut or Wengé, the highly polished gloss black or the new very stylish satin white.

Purchase the latest CD from Peter Gabriel and inside you will find a unique code to download the album in FLAC: Studio master sound quality 24-bit 48KHz format. This is in a far higher resolution than can fit on the actual CD disc itself, thus giving the listener a closer insight into the great mans work. Alternately, you can download the album direct from Bowers and Wilkins website found here. The atmosphere from this album is truly majestic when played back through one of the new media streamers from Linn or Naim.
"Songwriting is what drew me into music," Peter reveals. "The craft and the process of putting together a good song seemed both exciting and magical." And it's this magical craft that Scratch My Back salutes, a dozen covers of songs that Peter regards as among the pinnacles of songwriting endeavour. "Songwriting is what turns his crank," agrees long-standing member of his management team Mike Large, "and there's a whole bunch of songs that, when he hears them, the meter goes off the end of the scale."
