Posted: Thursday, 16 June 2011Hope they sounds as good as they looks ;-)
Posted: Wednesday, 22 June 2011Excellent design!
Posted: Wednesday, 22 June 2011They didn’t say what the major differences are between this and their 805’s.
Posted: Wednesday, 22 June 2011I’m very excited. I’ve owned many B&W products and I’m never disappointed. The craftsmanship and aesthetics are above par! Another great addition to the family.
Posted: Wednesday, 22 June 2011Absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait for the day when I own a pair.
Posted: Wednesday, 22 June 2011What is the price of this speaker?
Posted: Wednesday, 22 June 2011I would like to hear these against my CDM 1NT’s, curious to see how the technology has improved.
Posted: Thursday, 23 June 2011Hi Hiro
The speakers are £1995 for the pair.
Kind regards

Hi Martin
There are lots of differences between the PM1 and the 805 Diamond, most notable of which is the Carbon Braced Tweeter used here as opposed to the diamond tweeter used on the 805. There are also very fundamental differences in terms of the size of the loudspeakers – the PM1 is considerably smaller than the 805
You can find out more information on the PM1 here:

in audio reflection .
Currently own CDM-1 NT , interested in
comparison .
Heard it already in Lyon…wonderfull sound and hawesome object!
Posted: Thursday, 30 June 2011Which amplifier would be suitable for it? Some of Rotel’s amps perhaps?
Posted: Sunday, 3 July 2011Hi Bartek,
You could consider a pre-amplifier & power amplifier combination such as the Rotel RC-1580 pre-amp together with the RB-1582 power amplifier which will provide a musically engaging performance.
Hope this helps,

I’m also thinking about arcam a38 which I heard make a good pair with B&W speakers. Would that be ok for them?
Posted: Thursday, 7 July 2011I will try it before but just wondering if they are matching on the power level (105wpc continuous power output (8ohms, both channels driven))
I’m owning B&W mm-1 pc speakers and I’m really amazed by their performance and sound.
I would like to hear also a bit more power in a second room and I want to stay with B&W speakers.
