    B&W M1 and PV1 setup..reviews?

    Guys, I am looking at some reviews from you experts. Just wondering if I make 5.1 package of M1's and PV1. Is that a good enough option?

    How do M1's sound? are they good enough for a HT setup?

      I had a chance to listen to them. I think they are pretty amazing for their size. Here is a review from the net.

          I have a pair of M1s that I use for rear surrounds. They're pretty nice. My fronts are 805s. I haven't listened to the M1's much as main speakers. In comparison to the 805s, the M1 have a lot smaller soundstage. They are of course not as smooth, and do sound a bit muffled compared to the 805s. This is of course all compared to the 805. However, for the size, it really is a very nice speaker. I look at it, and for the size, I am amazed how big they can really sound. I think the whole 5.1 package would be nice, but not in a big room. Maybe a medium or small room.

              I also use the M1 as a surround speaker and as mentioned previously they do sound good for a small speaker. My mains are 703's & a HTM7 that I am wanting to replace with a HTM3s. The HTM7 just doesn't match well with the 703's. The M1's are running with the rest of my speakers on a new Sunfire TGA 5400 and they appear to hold up well with that kind of power.

                  DM601 S3 box (package) size?
                  by newbiemex
                  Hello, I have my eyes set on a pair of 601 S3 which I can only buy in the US. Taking advantage of a trip I plan to bring them back to Mexico by plane if possible. I don't want to get my hopes up because if the package size of the speakers is too big I won't be able to bring them properly secured,...

                  How to pair 805s with PV1 for music and movie?
                  by lukeyeh
                  I am new to HT and HT Receivers. I have always been using stereo for music and no HT system. Now I have a Rotel RSX1067, 805s and pv1. I use the system for both classical music and movies. I am wondering what crossover number to use (i.e. 60, 80, ..) and how loud do I set it at the back of the PV1....

                  PV1 Speaker-wire connection - Help please!
                  by kmcheng
                  Last week I got an integrated amplifier (Bel Canto e.One S300i) to power my 805S speakers. I hooked up the speakers, and I was very happy. But I had not connected my two PV1 subwoofers to the amp yet. I am now considering using the speaker-wire connections to hook up the PV1 with the Bel Canto. However,...

                  B&W FPM series vs. MT30 package.
                  by georgev
                  I really am in a dilemma.
                  Two options for a family room.

                  1. MT 30 package(sub/sat system)
                  2. FPM 4 for the front three with the same PV1 sub, and the M1's for the rears(same as above).

                  I have been running my system with a phantom center for some time with results that have vacillated between good and excellent, depending on where you sit. I have been locked into this situation because of the limited choices I have had for including a well matched dedicated center channel. Recently...
