Dear YoengJyh,   I still have my B&W MM-1's and they are my one and only rig at home. When I want to listen to some loud music I rock my Grado HF-1's!   At this point the only way I can describe the MM-1's is in terms of versatility. The value for money you get with the MM-1's is less...

Sorry, I didn't get notified of your responses.   The MM-1's are specifically designed for near field listening. What's even more, they appear to be specifically designed for low volume listening. If you think about it, it is quite a remarkable skill, as many rigs will need natural volumes...

Well from what I could hear the headphone out was pretty good, but I must admit I am already happy with my MacBook Pro internal headphone jack. No hiss in either case. I'll give it another go with my HF-1's, but they lack the detail on the high end to really tell what's going on. That's how I...

In my opinion the internal DAC/DSP does a great job already. I have also connected my iPad through the Apple Camera Connection Kit, which provides a true digital out via USB (this will let you use the MM-1's remote control with the iPad too!!!!!!!!! I have never tried the analogue line-in...

I'm no wine expert here. I'm the sort of guy who can appreciate some good Italian strong red, but will sometimes find it hard to get accustomed to the more noble varieties. And I'm definitely not the guy who knows many labels by heart. In other words I simply do not have the culture to point...

Please take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'm trying to convey the caracter of these speakers, yet mine is only a subjective view. You definitelly shouldn't get them without hearing them first. But you also shouldn't ditch the idea of getting them only based on my thoughts! If you have...

Ok, a visual example... in this one you can see Diana's lips moving, and the hairs of the brush hitting the plates... if you close your eyes YouTube - Diana Krall - The Look Of Love Oh.. yeah, radio music sounds good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_AAn24fEk8

uhmm well lets put it like this: the MM-1's mercilessly underline each and every defect in that recording. I don't think they would be the right set of speakers for you. This is more the kind of things I'm talking about: Intimate performance: Iron and Wine's Fever Song YouTube - Iron &...

UPDATE: either the MM-1's are burning-in a lot, or my ears are adapting to their natural sound. If I listen to just any 2.1 set of speakers, they sound so fake. Yes, you can get more bass, but it's always muddier, and it is difficult to get just the right amount of it. What I like of the...

Well I haven't owned any since I left my parents home, quite a while ago. But at the time I used to listen to two sets. Some old-fashioned big JBL's (probably 1.5 meters tall) made of oak. I only remember they had 70W max input. They have always been my favorite. Fed through a NAD pre and...

again, then again and again.. I ask myself why should I keep them? they can't go loud, they don't have the low end... and then once again it strikes me. When I come across a live performance recording... it's like a lightning. I am instantly teleported before the stage. I'm not in my room...

And they will come my friend. Please bare with the poor quality tho. I only have an iPhone to take them with! Will post them when I'm back from work, if you desire any specific ones, just ask. In the meantime, a few details: 1) the speakers look much cheaper in photo than in real life...

Ok I'm listening to Fever Dream - Our Endless Numbered Days... and I just felt overcome. There are no tears but there was definitely something moving in my belly! It was as if we were all together in the courtyard of some farmer house in a remote Greek island, with him playing just for me...

Got home and found a set of Bowers & Wilkins MM-1's waiting for me at the door! With a childish smile I quickly unboxed them and gave them a try on my MacBook Pro. I'll get right to the point (I do intend to write a full review after a few days of listening): are they worth the money...
