Bowers & Wilkins MT-60D Speaker Package

B&W MT-60D 5.1 Home Cinema Speaker Package

The new B&W MT-60D package comprising of 5 new design M-1 speakers in tandem with the stunning PV1D subwoofer with a new digital platform. In comparison with the previous B&W M-1 satellite speaker, the new M1 looks similar but can be used as a full range loudspeaker in a compact stereo system for example. The new M1 has greater body and punch than the previous model, thanks to new drive units designed in-house, integrated into a custom crossover. This also helps the new speaker play louder and with a cleaner sound than before.

The PV1D is quite radically different to the previous PV1 model. Whilst retaining its spherical profile, a new amplifier module of 400W output (a 500W B&O ICE power module was used in the earlier model) is combined with longer throw drivers to give more extension and depth and a much bigger sound than before. It digs incredibly deep, and actually sounds more powerful, despite the apparent reduction in power from 500 to 400W. An iPhone app is now available to control the settings of the PV1D 'on the fly' to get the best sound at the listening position.

Who are Bowers and Wilkins?
