I have had a Sony Sound System with separate Bass for years and was always pleased with it. Finally though, the amplifier quite and it is not fixable. So, i went off to find a new system that would work well with my MAC 5K. I looked and tried many systems, but was not happy with what I saw. Finally, I asked at Apple and they recommended this unit, of course at full retail. So, I instead went to Amazon and ordered it there. Here is what i found:
1. The system looks nice and is easy to setup. The only thing I did not like about the looks is the power brick! Where do you hid the darn thing?
2. The speaker cord that connects the two speakers together could stand to be a bit longer for a desktop installation. It allows about 5 feet, but if you are working with a newer desk design, that can be a little on the short side.
3. The USB cord is good and you can always get extensions or longer cables if you need it. An example would be if your desk is against a wall and you want to put the speakers up on shelves. In that case, the included USB might not be long enough, but again, it is easily extended.
4. Fit and Finish of the unit is superb!! The cables all enter the speakers on the bottom and there is a slot cut into the speaker for the cable to enter. The connectors are all on the bottom and hidden from view. The result is a very clean line!!
5. Great, now what about sound? Be prepared for an exceptional experience!!!!!! That being said, I would first caution you to find your equalizer on iTunes (if you are using a MAC) and make adjustments there for pre-amp and for acoustics that you like. Once you have done that, these speakers will be amazing! While configured to perform best a few feet in front of the speakers, they will also fill a very large room with incredible sound!!!! If you do not adjust the equalizer, you may not be pleased because you probably have the bass turned up high to compensate for the MAC speakers and that will give you very muddied sound.
6. The included remote is well designed and ergonomic for holding. I have read the complaints about the remote no a desktop, but it was NOT designed to be operated while it is on the desktop! It was designed to be held in your hand and used! As such the buttons are well placed and the unit is very comfortable.
7. The remote will advance the tracks on your play list, pause the music, restart the music, mute the sound, adjust sound levels, and turn the unit on or off. If you use the USB connection and then go in to your System Preferences and Select the MM-1 units, it will then use the MM-1 unit when it is powered on and the internal speakers when it is not powered on!!
8. Registering is accomplished by going online and entering in your serial number! So, use your phone to take a picture of the bottom of the main unit where the serial number and other information is at. That way you will always have it and do not need to pick-up the speaker to get the information. Also, if you cannot read the fine print, taking a picture allows you to easily expand the picture to be able to read it with ease!!
9. Buying from Amazon Warehouse is an incredible deal!! Getting more than $100 off is a VERY nice touch!! I purchased the unit that stated the box will be damaged and no other listing of problems. The units were perfect in every way and the damage to the box was the fact that it had been opened!
I am VERY pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it if you want incredible sound from your computer!!!!

A CRACK IN THE BOTTOM
Good in sound and design and I love it. But THERE IS A CRACK in the bottom of the right box which makes me a little disappointed. Besides, when I touched it, I can feel a protrusion inside. I wonder what it is and whether it will cause any safety problems? If not, it won't bother me. And I hope the B&W can be more careful in inspection in the future.
