PC Speaker Tests: Altec Lansing Octane 7 and Bowers & Wilkins MM-1

Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Find the best price

Today we're testing two sets of PC speakers, one for the masses and one for the privileged few. We can all dream though!

By the brand's recent standards, the Altec Lansing Octane 7 speakers have a relatively understated design. The sound quality is, however, not bad at all given their reasonably affordable price tag.

The MM-1 are the stars of the PC speaker show right now. Hot on the heels of Focal, Bowers & Wilkins is the second luxury hi-fi audio manufacturer to release a set of PC speakers. The result is impressive, but they certainly don't come cheap.
