I came across this thread looking for info on the PV1D subwoofer. Just have to throw in my 2 cents on the PM1's. I was auditioning an Arcam AVR400 receiver with B&W M1's satellites and just for fun, listened to the PM1's to see how good the Arcam could be paired with better speakers. Well, I bought the Arcam based on that demo, ditched the idea of going with the M1's, and have put the PM1's on my short list for high quality small stand mount speakers if and when I should ever decide to go in that direction. The PM1'some of the best sounding small speakers I have ever heard, and the accolades in the thread above are all true in my opinion. I was especially struck by the freakishly integrated and realistic sound field projected between and around the speakers. There was no bad place in the room to listen to them that I could find. The PM1's are a homerun product.
B&W PM1
I heard the B&W PM1's yesterday. I was blown away by their sound. Really good. Smooth, clear, detailed, wide soundstage, and amazing bass for a small speaker. We all thought there was a sub on, but there was none. They were hooked up to simple Rotel electronics. An RA-05SE integrated amp and a 06SE CD player. About $500 each only. I am trying to imagine the sound quality with better electronics.
Just curious if anyone else here has listened to them yet and what your impressions are? I am thinking of buying a pair. Also, anyone know where they are made? Still in England or in China now? Any good advice on matching integrated/amp for them? Thanks.
