The tweeters feature B&W's Nautilus tube-loaded design claimed to dampen resonance and improve high-frequency sounds.

The speakers also integrate Digital Signal Processing (DSP) components to automatically adjust sound balance depending on the signal. Plus, the speakers can handle the DAC themselves when attached via USB. The MM-1 also integrates a specially designed headphone amp for headphone connections, plus there is an aux-in jack. The company lists a frequency response of -6dB at 57Hz and 22kHz. The MM-1 is geared for near-field listening from just a few feet away. 

The MM-1 is expected to ship in February, no word on pricing yet.
