Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL?


Has anyone had the pleasure, listening for extended periods to any of the MBL speakers? If so, how many hours, which speakers & what electronics were driving them? Speaker wires, interconnects? Your thoughts & how engaging did you find them? Thanks.

Rocked my world, prof. Your comments bare heed.

Unfortunately, the only time I heard MBL's was at a RMAF and some guy decked in bling was listening to ZZ Top on the all-MBL system. I sensed he had stupid money, so this was allowed to continue too long. I love ZZ Top and all, but...

A tragically sad story indeed, prof.

My personal story of material tragedy is the rich kid that bought my mint, numbers-matching 69 Z28 with the ultra-rare (500 produced) GM Penske/Donahue crossram racing intake, two Holly 585 no-choke double pumpers and professionally built, balanced-and-blueprinted 302 motor and then pulled and traded that motor for a POS big block, completely ruining the collectability of the car. $175k => $30k in the blink of an eye. Broke my heart.

Ha! A reminder of how the outside world must puzzle at what is written in the audio forums. lol 

Trust me, prof, collector car enthusiasts are every bit as fanatical as audiophiles.

Also, the WireWorld Platinum Starlight cables can be very bright with certain components/systems as well. A very fast cable that demands careful matching IME. Don’t recommend matching them to a system already on the edge...
