Bowers & Wilkins M-1 Speaker

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) has introduced the updated M-1 compact monitor and PV1D subwoofer, and the new matte finish of the ASW608 subwoofer. All three of them are components of the loudspeaker company’s Mini Theater systems and are available in Matte Black and Matte White finishes. The refreshed M-1 loudspeaker is still compact, yet has been completely redesigned internally and delivers a stereo performance comparable to larger bookshelf speakers. The compact speaker sports all new drive units, including an in-house designed tweeter, and a bass/mid-range driver that uses the new Anti-Resonance Plug first seen on the high-end PM1 loudspeaker. It comes with a cleverly designed table-top stand lets the center speaker sit horizontally.
