B&W M-1 - After market table stand and wall mount suggests

[Guddu]

Dear FMs,
I am looking for suggestions on aftermarket table stand/feet and wall mount options for B&W M-1.

Please show us if you have used or seen any that works well.

Thanks

Looks like these were designed firmly around the original, interchangeable floor/desk/wall mounts:


Do these not work for you, or can you just not find them on the used market?

The new ones from B&W cost as much as the speakers themselves, haven’t seen any on used market as well.
Trying to find some cheaper options.
Thanks

There was a change in the mounting architecture several years ago so if you do find some on ebay make sure they fit whichever version of the speakers you have. I sourced a pair of the floor-standing mounts a few years ago but they were for the old format and ended up in the garbage. Painful lesson.

You pretty much have to use the official mounts because they make up part of the wiring. The end of the short ball socket post (part of the speaker) has a mini coaxial connector in the end. The various stand options provide a way of connecting to that coax and hooking up normal speaker wires.

The original M1's had rubber on the top and bottom.

The newer M-1's have perforated metal over the top and bottoms.

The stands are not compatible between the two generations.

Newer M-1 (perforated metal top):

I'm pretty sure that picture of the connector is the old format, as you surmised.

Yep.

This is what the wall mount for the newer M-1 looks like:

Thanks guys, appreciate all your responses.
This is what I ended up doing:

- unscrewed the attached hook/leg
- cut the cable that goes through the hook/leg
- put any QD connector for easy connection
- then you can use any wall mount available in market, like wali etc.
* it still looks neat and clean, no need to pay insane amount to get original assembly or something.
