  • Worth it
Color: White
I did a ton of research reading reviews both from audio publications to customer reviews. All spoke highly of these. It was between these and the Definitive 6500's. The Definitive's had quite a few reviews of speaker failure in a short amount of time so that pushed my decision even more to the B&W's. The house I purchased already had outdoor speakers mounted but they were 20 year old Speakercraft's which sounded ok but kind of flat in my opinion. I wanted something with more lower end bass to fill in. These do have more bass & overall I'm happy with the purchase but they do not have the same punch as if you had an actual subwoofer nearby. I used to take my JBL bluetooth Extreme speaker outside and it has a nice punch to it way more than the Speakercrafts so was wanting to avoid having to take out a portable speaker when I already have wired ones so these seem to come a lot closer. Mounting these I had some concerns as the mounting bracket is fairly small and when screwing into the wall did not want to hit the speaker wire and also did not want to cut too much length off the existing speaker wire in case in the future I replaced these with something else, the AM-1's do not need a lot of wire from the wall. Fortunately, I was able to cut some wire and force the excess under the cover in the mounting bracket. No doubt these are pricey but they are worth it, have nice clean and deep sound. They look nice and sleek with the propriety mounting system. I hope they last 20 years like the Speakercrafts did. ... show more

  • Huge Improvement
Color: White
Wow! Just WOW! These replaced 20+ year old Bose 151s. The Bose were more or less “state-of-the-art” for outdoor speakers back in their day but I had grown unhappy with the bass response and the sometimes tinny highs. They served us well on our patio for years so I’m really not complaining or trashing them. Now the B&W AM-1s are up and running and a world of difference. My wife who is typically ambivalent about sound notices the difference in a positive way. I installed them myself in the same location as where the Bose had been so wiring still worked as did two of the mounting holes. The B&Ws require four screws so had to drill two more for each speaker which in concrete stucco is no easy chore but a new hammer drill and concrete screws made short work of that. Did notice before I bought these that one “professional installer” complained the speakers sagged. Well all I can say is he did something wrong. I could hang a pretty good sized side of beef on the mounts and can’t see how they would ever sag. The B&Ws join the B&Ws in my ATMOS theater and I’m totally sold on their line. Pure quality. UPDATE: After rereading the negative critical review concerning potential sagging of the speaker I see that the writer was referring to the TORX bolt that actually connects the speaker to the bracket. Thier contention is that with heavy use the TORX bolt will loosen causing the speaker to sag on the mounting arm. I doubled checked mine and they are as tight as I can get them and show no evidence of loosening. No sure of what “heavy use” is but we listen to a wide variety of music at moderate levels so speaker case vibration seems minimal if at all. ... show more

  • Loving them so far. Install was a little rough, but not the speaker mounts engineering.
Color: Black
Ordered some speakers to replace the 20+ year old AudioSource speakers that were there when we got the house. Was tired of their weak tinny sound. Pool part coming up and speakers not here.....found these speakers on Amazon plus onsale for $250 off. Sold! Cancelled my delayed order and glad I did. Install was a pain......had a ton of trouble finding studs through the stucco around the door frame. Had to move them out which is probably a blessing. Wire run was garbage, but I had a pool party on Saturday so no time to make it look pretty. I've never drilled into the outside of a stucco home.... originally had 2" drywall screws. Nope. Not long enough. Tried 3" and it barely reached the studs. Had to get 4" for a nice firm fit. Stud finder was not accurate as well so right side was right on. Left side I had to angle them to get a firm grip. Sound.....I heard instruments, stereo effects, and even voices I never heard before in songs. The opening of Pain it back from the Rolling Stones.....WOW. Never heard it like that before. I am not a true audiophile, but I do have a decerning enough hearing to now good speakers when I heard them. Ignore the stucco.... its dirty as well and we just patched the 20 test drills trying to find a stud LOL. Next step is cleaning the area where the old speakers were at. ... show more

  • Poor product, poor shipping poor manufacturing, just based on unpacking
Color: Black
I just received these today paid $1000 for them haven’t hooked them up yet. They had great reviews is why I bought them. I am missing bolts to the bottom of the brackets and other pieces to hang the speakers. I cannot believe what I see if I choose to keep them I will have to go to Lowe’s and buy bolts to put in there not a big deal, but it’s the principal if I wanted to buy bolts for speakers I would’ve bought a $300 set not $1000 set ... show more

  • Incomparable Sound Quality - Quirky Mount System
Color: White
For the price, I had very high expectations which were absolutely met and possibly even exceeded when it came to the sound these speakers produce. Honestly, they sound better than most home stereo systems. The richness of the bass and the crystal clear clarity of the highs is on par with my Bose home theater. I was hearing nuances I've never heard before when playing tracks I must have listened to thousands of times previously. Definitely 5 star speakers. But I wasn't so thrilled with installation. First, my speakers were missing mounting screws and the wrench that is supposed to be included to tighten the mounts. I didn't have a Torx in the size needed and had to run out and buy one. The instructions are kind of a joke and weren't much help. The mount is innovative and the way it transmits signal from the wire terminals (in the back of the mount) through the arm and to the speaker is nice but it's a proprietary single-arm mount so it's the only way you can mount them. They are heavy speakers so ideally they should be screwed or bolted into the wall with the speaker wire fed through the wall because there is going to be a lot of weight supported by a single attach point that is only about 2" x 3". I was hoping to soffit mount them but that may not work out without building a frame. I may make a mount plate out of T6 aluminum that I can screw into the fascia and mount the arm to it. I'll post an update with pics once I get them mounted outside. Overall I am very satisfied and I know these will sound incredible on my patio. ... show more

Sounds amazing. Worth every penny. I do use a sub woofer with them and the sounds is sooo good. Super detailed and articulate. Male and female vocals sound warm and natural! Couldn’t be happier.

They sound ok. No bass. Not worth a grand. My Klipsch sound as good with bass at half the cost.
