B&W ’s be intimate for a form of oldtimer - meet - future intention approach — think AirPlay Zeppelin . But the novel PM1 miniskirt - monitor face squarely from the pre - War past . Each helmet - shaped unit frisk a panoply of materials ( kevlar , C character , resin ) for a pretty grimace .
Given B&W ’s record , the PM1s are credibly packing more than looks as well . They take their top - mounted tweeter , look like some strange industrial fungus sprout , offers greater clarity of sound from its advantage point atop the cabinet . The rest of the low and mid sound ’s pushed by two 5 - in kevlar drivers .
But none of this matters if you ca n’t cough up the $ 2,800 per pair — and that does n’t let in the $ 550 stands . [ Bowers & Wilkins ]
