Features: Six years ago the M1 speaker was launched and it became the heart of the B&W Mini Theater products. This tiny speaker has shown very well received performance and B&W has decided to redesign and update the M1 to the M-1. You can use this key speaker as all five speakers in a 5.1 setup and the table-top stand allows you to rotate the speaker to orient horizontally for making the placement easier as a center channel under displays. Available in both hues either white or black, the internals of the speaker is completely redesigned.

It may still look similar from their predecessor; the M-1's feature all new drivers, which includes an in-house designed 1" aluminum dome tweeter and a 4" woven fiber cone woofer which can utilize the Anti-Resonance Plug first seen on the high-end PM1 loudspeaker.
 The speaker termination is upgraded and the connection to the table-top stand is much stronger than before. For those who look for addition placement options, B&W adds a wall bracket with each speaker and a floor stand can be available for an extra cost.

The M-1s are 8-ohm nominal meaning they will work with just about any receiver/amp on the market. They are rated 64 Hz - 23 kHz ±3dB on reference axis. Since you'll be going upto these over at 80 Hz, this should be enough of bass extension. The M-1s are 9.8" tall, 4.5" wide, and 6.4" deep. They weigh about 5 pounds, making wall mounting a breeze. The enclosure is vented (ported) but I am not exactly where. It could be on top though most often it's on the back. Wall mounting or placing a rear-ported speaker near a boundary will increase the bass response but, usually, at the expense of linearity.

In the other side of the decimal point, B&W is also going to update the PV1D sub. The PV or Pressure Vessel sub design features with rounded cabinet and opposed drivers which are designed to cancel cabinet resonance. With the PV1D, they've moved the sub to the digital platform that was pioneered by the B&W flagship DB1 subwoofer. This digital platform also includes a dynamic EQ circuit. In this circuit, the PV1D has a +/-3db specification down to 7.5 Hz. Question is "At what volume?" I think it's pretty low. On the spec sheet it mentions that bass extension differs with output level due to the EQ of the sub so I don’t think I am wrong. The front OLED display and the touch buttons allow you an easier access to the controls plus a custom version of the SubApp. PC software allows you to use tweakers and bass-heads to tune to their heart's content.
The PV1D includes five EQ presets with an analogue input sensitive and digital gain and a low pass filter with frequency, slop, and phase control and 12 volt trigger control. RS-232C is also available for installers, as is an auto-on or standby switch. Inputs include a stereo RCA line in and a speaker level input. The sub is  13.5" tall, 10.6" wide, and 14.1" deep. It has two, side-firing 8" paper/Kevlar cone woofers and weighs about 41 pounds. The sub is also sealed to make placement a little more flexible, but it has the output limit.
