Setting the bar very high, Bowers & Wilkins has just launched their newest addition to the custom installation side of things, this beast of a power amplifier gives you the freedom of controlling 8 zones (or 16 channels) of pure musical fidelity. Ther CDA-16 provides you with 100 watts (into 4 ohms) of Class D power. This is a big step in the right direction when it comes to home theatre, rather rare to see any power amplifiers that provide you with 16 channels, so this is perfect for those who are trying to achieve getting music flowing through their living/placement environments.
We will update this listing once we have some more information on it.
Who is Bowers & Wilkins?
Bowers & Wilkins are a company that needs a very little introduction, having been constructing some of the world's most critically acclaimed loudspeaker and headphone models for half of a decade. Starting at the entry-level 600 S2 series, through to the new 700 S2 series audiophile range, 800 Diamond series and flagship Nautilus model. These different series of loudspeaker have been praised as the superior listening experience in both two-channel hifi/music listening and in multi-channel home theatre applications, having claimed a vast multitude of awards in both categories. A Bowers speaker can be easily recognised by their iconic styling and their new silver 'continuum' cone, present throughout the 600, 700, 800 & Formation ranges. In April 2019 Bowers and Wilkins introduced their newest "wireless" range called "Formation", giving you a true, high-quality music experience when it comes to streaming music wirelessly.
