Details
Bowers & Wilkins Mini Theatre range has been going for a few years now, but still time and time again it is considered one of the finest home cinema packages you can get your hands on. There are two basic versions, one with the ASW608 subwoofer and one with the PV1D subwoofer. Each contains five of the amazingly small yet powerful M-1 satellite speakers.
You can optionally add extra M-1 speakers to turn them into a 6.1 or 7.1 package, and you can also add speakers stands if you wish to floor stand the M-1 speakers. However, they come with their own desk top or wall brackets so you can mount them in a variety of ways out of the box.
This is the B&W MT-60D package which contains five M-1 speakers and the remarkable PV1D subwoofer. If the budget is a little high for your pocket then take a look a the MT-50 which saves a considerable amount by using the ASW608 subwoofer instead. However, if you can, get this one! It has picked up yet another award to win Product of the Year for Best style package £1800+ in the 2013 What Hi-Fi awards - beating a huge amount of competition from more recent upstarts.
So why is this package so popular? It is largely down to Bowers & Wilkins attention to detail and their fine musical and movie ears. The integration between the speakers and subwoofer is key, and the sound is so well integrated you will struggle to even tell there is a subwoofer at work here. They partner well with a range of AV receivers although have a tendency to prefer the slightly softer sounds of the Onkyo or Denon over perhaps Sony or Yamaha.
The soundstage is rendered impressively and you'll find the top and mid range performs excellently. The subwoofer completely compliments the M-1 speakers and drops low as well, so you'll find every rumble and nuance revealed in glorious detail. Indeed this package is a firm favourite of ours and is often cited as a dream package for our own home use.
We think this package is outstanding. There may be some bigger and more expensive packages out there which will beat it, but none do it with such class and style. We expect to see it around for a lot longer, and to continue to pick up those awards.
