MM-1 is exactly the computer speaker I had always been looking for, which has decent performance, delicate design of appearance, etc. The unique connection via USB between speakers and PC, bypassed the original sound card in the PC, instead, an embedded one in MM-1 played the both roles of decoder and speaker. The only thing I am not satisfied is that the 'openbox' item, as described on bestbuy website is short of MANUAL ONLY. However, when I pick them back home, I found the remote was not included. Customer service insisted it is not BB's fault to give a mistaken or incomplete description. Eventually I bought the remote from B&W online parts store. Nevertheless, MM-1, the speakers themselves, are so perfect that I didn't return them even without the remote.

Got these speakers as demos. They in very good shape and had good price. These speakers a better then most. They take the signal from the usb, because they have their own D/A converters. This gives the system a better over all sound. The remote is a nice touch and it's advantages are help full. It is one the better units. I am glad I did not have to the full price. The highs are very clear, with a good mid tone. The bass is good, because they are large speakers. The over all sound is excellent for speakers of this size. They are very good to listen to. Just a liitle more power would nice.

Purchased these to compliment my new iMac and they do not disappoint. Overall sound quality is outstanding and bass is adequate given the size of the speakers. Value however is debatable given their $500 price. I would recommend them if you are an audiophile in search of a excellent near-field music experience but for average use and gaming, their price puts them in the "indulgence" category.

This is the second B&W product I have purchased and I'm quite happy with the MM1's. The look of the speakers and the sound on my mac is fantastic, far better than the Logitechs I'd been using and the price was great.

I purchased this for my home office, wanted something sleek but had an amazing sound. Very happy, the sound is super clear but could have a little more bass.
