The only computer speakers you’ll ever need

  • 아티클

To call these things computer speakers is really rather underselling them – work’s or art may be more appropriate. Of course for $500 or £400 you’d expect a little bit more. What you get with the Bowers and Wilkins MM-1’s is hifi quality speakers hooked up to your PC.

When mine arrived, I whipped them out of the packaging in a flash and hooked them up to my PC – they sounded terrific. Then I spoke with a chap at B&W and he reminded me to set them up as a soundcard rather than just PC speakers. Wow…boom! These things really kicked in to life and offered a wonderfully rich sound with impressive bass given the lack of subwoofer. As you’d expect from B&W, they look stunning, are beautifully engineered, even down to the pebble sized remote which can control Windows Media Player or iTunes remotely.

If What HiFi gives them 5 stars you know you’re on to a winner. Their verdict

 

  • For
    Fantastic sound for a PC speaker system; impressive bass for a subwoofer-less design; classy build; easy to install
  • Against
    If price isn’t an issue, nothing

That pretty much sums it up. They cost the price of a decent laptop/netbook but if you can, you must. My JBL’s are now looking for a new owner…

    "he reminded me to set them up as a soundcard rather than just PC speakers" What did they mean by this?

    hey Doug...I did post a reply to this but not sure why it didn't show up. anyway, the dude at B&W advised to plug in the USB cable aswell as the audio cable (i only did the latter in my eagerness to get them setup). once you plug USB in, the speakers set themselves up at a soundcard with improved audio output + you can remotely control Media Player, Zune, iTunes with the small pebble sized remote
