The Bryston CIW is a round coaxial design based on a 6.5-inch aluminum woofer and a 1-inch titanium tweeter. The CIW takes advantage of the same tweeter design found in other Bryston loudspeakers, however the tweeter motor utilizes a neodymium magnet – a compact yet powerful element used to conserve size while maintaining the desired energy in the gap. The CIW tweeter also pivots, enabling the installer to direct the field of dispersion as needed for each application. The CIW’s woofer is also derived from Bryston’s A-Series loudspeakers.
It offers a fully enclosed acoustic suspension design featuring Bryston’s anti-standing wave rear chamber. Two additional form factors — a flange-less and a flush-mount version of the CIW are currently in development as well. The Bryston CIW has an MSRP of $290 each and is expected to ship to Bryston dealers in Q4, 2014.
