Hilltop Workshop | B&W M1 Speaker tear-down.

An "educational" dismantling and look inside B&W's popular M1 satellite speaker.

Wow showing the voicecoil! This is the best teardown video in the world!

[@farhanbadru6441]

Super solid quality and fancy driver

[@johnshore3095]

wow... quite nicely made...

[@thehilltopworkshop]

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. 👍

Thanks for that, really interesting teardown and didn't expect them to be so solidly built. Currently looking to get a couple on eBay to use as atmos height speakers but I haven't been able to find info on the wall mounts and what sort of angle they can be tilted to.

[@kiwiguy54321]

I’m mounting for atoms , you can mount up to 40degree

[@kiwiguy54321]

I have a pinched cable just like yours above on the stand , could you show how to break down the stand to replace to wiring there, please

[@thehilltopworkshop]

Unfortunately I no longer have this speaker. Sorry I can't help you any more.

[@kiwiguy54321]

Ok thanks ,

Just got a pair, they feel solidly built but the cabling solution on these is total shit. You bind the cable into the wall mount or stand directly and then the leg from the speaker goes onto a small fragile pin mount on the stands, but the speaker is not screwed onto the stand so you can't have it at much of an angle or it will just fall off, and because there is a built in cable going through this swivel arm it's going to get pinched from adjusting it like what happened in this one. Ordered these to replace a set of Cambridge minx speakers I'm currently using for heights, the connection solution on the minxes is a far better design than this, just has two holes for banana plugs (and includes the plugs)

glad seeing this... def not worth $300.. ill spend a hundred and buy some dayton reference or tangband coax drivers and probably have a superior speaker
