Compare B&W 702 S2 and CM10 S2
Acoustic systems B&W 702 S2 and B&W CM10 S2 have similar characteristics, such as passive design, number of drivers (5), and frequency range (45 – 28000 Hz). However, the 702 S2 is slightly lighter (59 kg compared to 67 kg for the CM10 S2) and has the same maximum amplifier power of 300 W. At the same time, the CM10 S2 offers more color options, including pink. Both devices support Bi-Amping/Bi-Wiring, which allows for improved sound quality. Choosing between them may depend on design preferences and weight.

Glossary
Crossover frequency
The crossover frequency provided in the speaker design.
A crossover is installed exclusively in a multi-band model (see "Number of Bands"). This is an electronic filter that ensures the division of the incoming audio signal into separate frequency ranges and directs each range to "its" set of speakers. And the crossover frequency shows where the boundary between these ranges lies. If there are more than two bands, there will be several such boundaries: for example, for a four-band system it may be specified "0.15 / 0.8 / 2.8 kHz" or "0.12 / 1 / 3.8".
In most cases, this parameter has mainly a reference value: the frequencies of the built-in crossover are selected to match the operating characteristics of the speakers installed in the speaker system.
