Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Active Multimedia Speakers Details
Product Description
MM-1s aren't like most other computer speakers. They're true hi-fi speakers, shrunk to fit on your desktop. So they don't just look great - they sound amazing, transforming your computer into a superb hi-fi stereo sound system. But then you'd expect nothing less from the makers of the award-winning Zeppelin iPod speaker, not to mention some of the most advanced studio speakers in the world.
The Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Speakers bring true hi-fi quality sound to your desktop, giving your Mac the audio enhancement it deserves. The MM-1 have two drivers, one dedicated to bass and midrange frequencies and another for the treble, so they deliver accurate sound just like full-size speakers.
The MM-1 tweeters incorporate a tube-loaded design, which dampens resonance and produces purer high frequency sounds. By adjusting the sound balance depending on the signal, these speakers keep bass effects powerful and music sounding rich and detailed, no matter how loud you play it.
You can stream audio directly from your Mac via USB, with your MM-1 speakers acting like an external sound card, to give you the best possible audio quality.
MM-1 speakers are true hi-fi speakers, shrunk to fit on your desktop. They don't just look great, they sound great too, transforming your computer into a superb stereo sound system. The beautifully designed infrared remote controls the basic functions of the MM-1 and iTunes, so you can play and pause, and skip tracks forward or back from almost anywhere in the room.

Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Active Multimedia Speakers Reviews
| 146 of 155 people found the following review helpful  Like nothing you've ever experienced before, By This review is from: Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Active Multimedia Speakers (Personal Computers) These speakers are spectacular. Once upon a time I wrote the longest review on Amazon ever comparing the Bose Companion 5's with Klipsch THX and a set of Logitechs - all 2.1 speaker sets. The Bose Companion 5's won out for their bright clarity, surround effect, rich bass etc. What I started noticing, across every set that I have since then tried, was that I just got tired of listening. . I have now listened to probably 20 different ipod docks and self powered speaker solutions, have taken home 10, (and returned 7) and truly there is no sound quite as clear and perfect as these speakers.I wanted to step it up from those first three units I tried and brought home three of what I thought would be the next top of the line contenders: AudioEngine's A5bookshelf speakers, Focal's 2.1 system with subwoofer, and the B&W MM-1s. I had them all connected for a week at the same time to my iMac via USB and stereo mini plug. Song by song, hour by hour I listened, and felt the music...

I'm spoiled. And possibly a loon. For years I've been buying nicer and nicer "computer speakers" for games (and beeps). Next to them are a pair of 20 year old B&W Silver Signatures (amped by a Sonos ZonePlayer, please no purist hate mail, it's pretty good, really) (for music). A few weeks ago the latest incarnation (Creative GigaWorks T40.2) suddenly started emitting a sound rather like an astronaut's popcorn machine. Four days after the 1-year warrantee ran out, it turns out. One prodigal moment of retail therapy later, I had ordered a pair of MM1's. I should probably point out that after a week or so of emails back and forth, Creative decided to replace the T40s after all. Rather gracious, really. And now, a few days later, I've been listening to the MM1s for a couple of hours. They're freakishly nice. I think computer speakers are done. These are they. If you can afford them, buy them. Presumably if you can... Read more 26 of 28 people found the following review helpful Worth every dollar, By This review is from: Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Active Multimedia Speakers (Personal Computers) If you can afford these speakers, treat yourself. The sound is beyond anything I've heard from computer speakers. I think the built-in DAC adds significantly to the sound quality. You will notice a difference if you run audio into the aux in jack vs. the USB; the USB connection is far superior because it utilizes the DAC. These B&Ws aren't cheap, but if you have an ear for quality, you will appreciate them. I also own the Bose Companion 3 speakers, which are fabulous. However, the B&Ws offer far superior detail. |
