Expert review by : Good Gear Guide.au (goodgearguide.com.au)

A stylish subwoofer

 

Even though it's clearly an exercise in contemporary styling, the PV1 is a great sub for music listeners. It's not as fantastic if you watch movies, but it still does an exemplary job.

Powerful, incredible low-frequency kick, compact, great styling

Not as versatile as we would have liked for movies

B&W PV1

 

Grunty yet controlled sound. Compact size. Great styling.

Terrible manual. Only moderately less successful with movies.

While the B&W PV1 could be described as a "style" subwoofer, it doesn't compromise on sound quality. Good for movies, great with music.

B&W PV1 review

 

B&W says balls to subwoofers. Literally – no, look, it's a spherical sub. See? And you thought… how rude.

I don't understand any negative reviews of this sub. It's a small sub, so it's not going to shake the walls. But for it's size it's great. No distortion, great sound out of a small great looking sub. Works great for my home theater and pairs well with...

Amazing sub and here's why, it's not completely made by B&W, if you take a nice look at the specs it said ICEpower amplifiers, which is created and made by Bang & Olufsen, a Danish company (and far better than B&W) Anyhow the ICEpower amp is what makes...

Just purchased 2 PV1's As part of of a B&W home theater combo (XT4, 2 and C). The sound is quite simply fantastic. The mix of the XT4 with the PV1 is as melodic, full ranged and with better dispersion than the significantly more expensive B&W 802. The...
