Kevlar is a light, strong woven synthetic fiber impregnated with a stiffening resin that cures during the cone forming process. The cone is then further treated with a polymer coat, which seals the fibers and adds damping.

Kevlar utilized:

The midrange is where the real musical action is invariably found, and a smooth midband is an invaluable loudspeaker quality. Enter Kevlar. It’s been B&W’s cone material of choice since 1974, and with good reason. The use of Kevlar results is a semi-flexible cone, which exhibits a peculiar style of break-up behavior, not found in more conventional materials, that maintains a more constant dispersion pattern at all frequencies in its range and transmits far fewer delayed, time-smearing sounds to the listener. Not only does it deliver a cleaner sound, it can do so to a wider group of listeners. You will find Kevlar drivers in:

This past weekend had our team out in the East Bay, Piedmont to be exact.  We installed a sweet little birthday surprise for the lucky dad in this family!

We began by updating the receiver and adding a Rotel 6 channel distribution amp to power 3 zones.  We also added a Marantz 5 disc CD changer, the new CC-4003  and a Marantz IPod Docking Station to the electronics closet.

Then we finished by installing two pairs of B&W loudspeakers.  One pair of CCM-80 in-ceiling speakers and 1 pair of WM-6 weatherproof outdoor speakers tucked up under the eves.

It all sounded great, was easy for the entire family to use and came in under budget!  A good day for us all!
