Okay, I’ve been doing further research on this, actually I Tweeted the people at B&W directly, there’s no doubt that twitter is the platform to use if you want information <smile>. There have actually been two firmware updates released for the MM1’s however - to save yourself some time - there’s a quick and simple way to see that your speakers are running the most frequent firmware. Power the speakers down into the “standby” mode by pressing standby on the remote controller. If the speakers power down instantly then you know they have the latest firmware installed. If the speakers take around 11 seconds to power down into “Standby” mode then your firmware needs updating. More information can be found at the B&W Archives page.
