Ah yes no doubt about it, when in their proper place and when you're
sitting down in your proper place they're excellent and again I say that
the MM1's are the best computer speakers I've heard given their size,
the fact they're not relying on any sub-woofer system at all etc.
I hope you get to hear the A7 one day, everyone I know who has heard
that thing has commented on its wonderful sound, even the Old Man said
it sounded good and if he comes out with a comment like that? Well it
must be absolutely true, he's really picky you know <smile>.

That is certainly true about the MM one and sound projection. They do sound
best when you're sitting at your desk with the speakers appropriately placed.
But, when you are in that position, they really are awesome. I have never heard
the a-seven. But I'm sure it must be very good. I have never heard a bad
speaker from Bowers and Wilkins.

Yep fair point about the “Standby” issue unless something could trigger them
through the USB port connection perhaps? I’ll do some research on that later on
today.
You’re right about opinion on sound being very subjective <smile>. The one
thing I’ll say about the M1’s from hearing them that often is that they’re not the
type of speaker for a lounge room - meaning they’re not good at projecting sound too
far - so obviously they’re meant to enjoy good Hi-Fi sound with you sitting nearly in
front of them at your computer desk with the M1’s sitting either side of you pounding
up the rich sound.
On the other hand - if you want something that projects sound far and wide -
and sounds as good at one end of the house as it does the other - then
something like the A7 might be the go, the A7 I have myself and it also hooks
up to the USB port of your computer which is a great touch for a speaker system.

Well, opinion of sound is always quite subjective, but I think the BMW M1 is a
wonderful speaker. For their size, they are downright amazing. They are a small
desk top speaker. And yes, even though I have left mine on occasionally for
quite some time, and the right speaker did get rather warm, no damage
apparently resulted from that. I don't honestly know if there is some kind of
sleep or standby mode. It could also be even if there is one, that the
occasional sound coming through my Mac, such as a mail notification or
whatever, would've been enough to keep triggering the speakers even when I was
not actually using the Mac.

This beaker containing all the amplification stuff does get hot. If you leave
it on for a long time. If you just turn it off when you're not using it, it's
fine. But if you forget and leave it on for a long time as I have done on
occasion, yes, it does get hot.

Hi there!
I know that people on this list have these speakers and I’m saving for a pair
myself.
So to my question, I read another review on these fine speakers which states
that the speakers get hot after use.
Well I’ve seen and listened to them enough and I’ve never noticed any real heat
generation from them though to be perfectly fair I’ve never used a pair over a
long period of time in a home environment so I put the question to you all.
I’m sure the MM1’s generate a little heat but - as I’ve seen them thus far - no
more than body heat type temperature.
