Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) is a well known maker of some very impressive, but very expensive loudspeakers. Taking their high-end expertise, B&W has announced the availability of two new "Mini-Theater" speaker packages, the MT-50 and MT-60D.
The foundation of both systems is the stylishly designed M1 compact loudspeaker that serves as center, front, and surround speakers. The M1 features a 1-inch tweeter and 4-inch midrange/bass driver and has an on-axis frequency response of 64Hz to 23kHz (+ or - 3db), a sensitivity of 85db, and from 20 to 100 watt power handling capability. The M1 can be table stand or floor stand mounted.
The MT-50 system also includes the ASW608 sealed 8-inch subwoofer with built-in 200 watt ICE power amplifier.
The MT-60D system is step-up that includes the same M1 satellite speakers, but substitutes the PV1D subwoofer in place of the ASW608. The PV1D feature unique spherical styling housing two 8-inch side facing drivers, supported by a 400 watt amplifier. In addition, the PV1D features onboard controls with five preset room EQ settings.
The MT-50 system is priced at $1,750.00, and the MT-60D has a price of $2,590.00. The M1 satellite speakers can be purchased individually for $250.00, the ASW608 is $500, and the PV1D is priced at $1,700.00. In addition, floor stands for the M1 satellites can be purchased for $150 each. All the speakers, subwoofers, and stands are available in either black or white.
