And the winner is--- 116, no wait it is the 121

So I thought since the 116 is priced a little to high for me and hardly shows up used on gon I would give the little brother a listen, the 121.
It was very very good, shockingly since I heard it before at a private home and didin't care for it, obviously a mismatch with either room or equipment.
So to those familiar with the mbl, I ask- should I stick it out and hope for a 116 to show up. I remember falling head over heels for the 116, there was nothing at all I desired more from the 116. The 121 is very good, but didn't give the same exact impression, is it possible with careful setup and subs added later on to get that same oh so awesome experience with the 121? The 101 also sound awesome to me.
By the way my present room is 11' x 15' kinda small for the 101 e's and I am not going to stick the 101 x's because it goes against my architects taste it'll conceal the curtains otherwise oh who am I kidding I couldn't even afford an architect but if I could I wouldn't have one because that would cut into my audionervosa spending and we can't have that.

Pedrillo, all I can say is enjoy.

That being said if I was you and looking at these two specific models I would most defiantly look at some other options also to compare.

I have been doing some research on some other speakers mentioned in some other threads as I'm open minded.

Two products that do come to mind worth at least a listen, first product being the Shahinian product line (talk seems to be mostly be about the "Diapason" speaker) There is another one below that one for sale right now on Gon. which looks very interesting and at an attractive price.

Second one being the Morrison Audio 7 speakers, very inexpensive and very interesting.

I have not heard any of these but I thought I would just give you my input, it is always nice to have options.
