Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought 4 of these as my surrounds for my 7.1 setup. I went to Best Buy many times to audition surround speakers. I was originally looking at the B&W 686B's to do the job but they weren't a good wall or ceiling mounting option because of their size, but sounded great. I then listened to some Def Tech ProMonitor 800's but they didn't sound as warm as the 686B's. After a couple of weeks I saw the M1's on display and gave them a listen. They sounded superb and evenly balanced. They could even handle a high volume and still sound great. They come with a wall mount as well as a stand so I was sold. The wall mount feature was important to me so I will elaborate. The mounts took a little fidgeting to get them to fit right, but by the third one I had it down. When they are completed, they look clean and neat. I did not run the wires through my walls. I have the wire going down the wall but it still looks nice because the wires attach inside of the mount instead of the speaker. The speakers can also be angled as much as you need them to be. You can even refit the mount on the back of the speaker to turn the speaker horizontally. These are fine surrounds. They deliver great sound in a small package without that "boxey" sound.

These speakers are very, very good for their small size. I auditioned these today through a moderately powered Marantz integrated amplifier. Very clear highs and midrange. Just listened to music through them alone and not with a center channel or subwoofer. I listened to some Def Techs and also two bookshelf size Martin Logans. I definitely prefer the sound of these to the either of those two. I do not like a lot of bass. I prefer clarity and sound stage or spaciousness to loud or booming sound and these do quite well for me. The Martin Logans did not sound as clear or warm as these and they were 3x to 6x the size of these speakers. This is just my personal opinion and my own listening preference. If you like loud music or a lot of bass or if you want to use them in a surround sound setup, then you will need the subwoofer.

Originally wanted MIRAGE Omnisats but they were discontinued by mfr. The B&Ws sound better than Klipsch, Def Techs and others I auditioned. Had never heard of this brand before but they sound so good I'll probably upgrade to larger ones (for the front channels in a 5.1 system). But, several friends who have heard my system asked "Why upgrade when these sound so good?"

These are great little speakers. I got them for my living room setup where I don't have room for bigger speakers but still want decent sound for our theater and music system. They're perfect for that. I was pleasantly surprised to hear so much bass from these little things.

These speakers were the final piece to my surround sound set up. Their sound quality produces such a strong sound for satellite speakers. The audio frequency range is phenomenal. These speakers are fantastic for their size and for the cost.

Let me start with the positive....these speakers sound great. If you want to mount these to your wall.....just don’t. Call the geek squad.....trust me. These mounts can make a grown man cry. I read the reviews complaining about the wall mounts. I thought they just didn’t read the directions until.....Oh My Gaaaaawd! These mounts suck! Whoever designed it should be fired. No mounting hardware. Worse than Ikea picture only instructions. If you attempt this yourself you will need two people. I tried it myself and ended up breaking one of my speakers which I couldn’t return due to the “damage”. Best Buy worked with me so thank you for your customer service. Speakers are great. The wall mounts are worse than putting Ikea furniture together. Just don’t even try it. You’ll thank me later. The wall mounts are the worst ever! Even the guys who work there say these speakers are a nightmare to mount. Never again!

I set this up as a stereo pair (no other speakers) with the Fosi Audio BT20A. The sound is amazing, I am super happy with the setup. It may not be ideal for people who like loud bass.

Easy install, sound fantastic. Very good all around with great clear/crisp sound.

I purchased a pair of Bowers & Wilkins M-1 Speakers to be used as rear speakers with my home entertainment system that includes a pair of Bowers & Wilkins CM 9 front Speakers a Bowers & Wilkins CM Centre S2 Center-Channel Speaker and the Bowers & Wilkins ASW10 CMS2 10” 500W Active Subwoofer that is all powered by a Pioneer SC-95 Elite Receiver and the sound that Bowers & Wilkins and Pioneer Elite equipment produces is worth the investment. You cannot go wrong dealing with the Magnolia department at Best Buy and the staff at the store on Colorado Blvd. in Denver CO. is outstanding.

To my hears they better any def-tech bookshelfs and Bose, Energy speakers, i use them for surround backs with my 686 bw's in the front,they give off great soundfield for a small speaker.

Enjoyed the simplicity of installing these satellite speakers. They sound amazing and you feel immersed in the movie. Powered by Marantz 7002 9 channel receiver.

I replaced Bose cube speakers with these speakers and they sound great!

This speaker is small but big, clear, and clean sounding. These speakers absolutely require an amp to power them. A receiver just won’t give them their full potential.

These are a great pair of speakers. I got them them as an open box item and they sound amazing. Must hear in person to appreciate the sound.

The wall mount piece is very fragile when you are attaching it to the base. Theye replicate sound very well.

Have these as my front speakers in my basement and they put out really good sound.

perfect for what I needed it for, a small wireless home theater
