## Overview

The Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 Architectural Monitor is a premium weather-resistant outdoor speaker pair featuring a 1" aluminum dome tweeter, 5" glassfibre cone midrange, and auxiliary bass radiator. Engineered for durability with rust-proof aluminum grilles and a rigid cabinet, these speakers withstand UV exposure and salt-spray conditions. Their flexible mounting options and superior sound quality make them ideal for patios, gardens, and poolside setups, delivering immersive audio with deep bass for up to 40m² coverage.

## Description

With a unique combination of pristine sound quality, durability and maximum flexibility, the Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 Architectural Monitor Loudspeakers are perfect for installation in various indoor and outdoor places like pool sides, gardens, patios, bars, restaurants, and more. Featuring a 1" Nautilus tube loaded aluminum dome tweeter, a 5" glassfibre cone bass/midrange, and a rear-mounted auxiliary bass radiator (ABR), the speakers provide room-filling, high-quality audio with an exceptional bass response. Designed to be positioned in both landscape or portrait mode while mounting, the AM-1 speaker pair is super flexible and can be rotated through 110 degrees from center in both directions. They are constructed with premium quality, rust-proof aluminum grille with a rigid cabinet of glass-filled plastics to brave the elements while delivering extraordinary audio output. The AM-1 is put through continuous testing in an accelerated salt-spray chamber, as well as outdoor UV accelerated life tests to ensure that the parts don’t discolor.

Review: Pros: Excellent sound quality as you’d expect from B&W and punches surprisingly well above its weight with bass response. Not over the top bass like some other outdoor speakers but the the low frequency response is very much there when it’s supposed to be. Cons: Not the most efficient speaker - you need some wattage (100w+) to properly drive them. Also they don’t come cheap BUT well worth the money if you have the right amplifier. Overall I’m very pleased with the AM-1s, they are a significant upgrade from my old Paradigms.
Review: Tienen una Fidelidad excelente y cubren bien un área de 40 mts/2
