How are Scansonic MB 2.5 sound

Want to buy a pair, heard they need long breakin. Are they better than my Merlin TSMXE stand mounts. Thanks for any info, will listen on Saturday at Nextlevel Audio, just want some input.

I heard them at Nextlevel with 25 hrs - 75 hrs then 150 hrs. At 25 hrs they sounded good but at 75 they really started to come alive. At 150 hrs all I can say is Wow. I have no experience with Merlin but the MB 2.5's are really well balanced from top to bottom.

I haven't heard the MB's with tubes But to me the Raidho's sound great with tubes. Do you have a tube amp or integrated? I have an Octave V110 with black box. George Just looked at your system. VTL should sound great.

In a push-pull Pentode mode. It has a high and low power mode. In high power I am using the Ei KT90's. It was designed around the KT120. Kt150's will not get any more power than the KT120's.
