B&W MT-50 HOME CINEMA SET

Big movie sound doesnʼt necessarily require a blockbuster budget. Our entry-level MT-50 system delivers both great value and a truly immersive cinematic soundscape. This system swaps the PV1D for our compact but punchy ASW608 subwoofer, available in a choice of matt black and white finishes to match the M-1s.

The versatile M-1 satellite provides all five speakers in this surround system, providing a full-range, coherent and cohesive sound from the front to the back of the sound stage. The M-1 is also compact and discreet enough to fit into relatively small spaces.

For big sound in small spaces, itʼs hard to beat the ASW608, the most compact of the 600 Series subwoofers, and the perfect partner for the M-1 satellites in smaller rooms.
