MBL 9008A / 9011


My system:
MBL 101 MK2
MBL 6010D
MBL 2x9008A
MBL 1521A/1511F

First of all I love my MBL sound but I know it could be better ! I would like to know if anyone have tried one MBL9011 and liked it more than two MBL9008A as mbl recommend ? I am also considering MBL 1611F with PC or an Weiss 202 Firewire dac with PC. Any one of you out there with experiance and recomandations ?
Thanks

No no. One 9011 not better. It just adds amplifier sections. My second power cords are not even connected. The review in absolute sound was garbage. 9011s give you more impact with the extra amplifiers on but cause more distortion, it's audible. I tried different amps. From ARC to Halcro and to my ears 90 series sounded better. I effectively am using two 9008's without the extra amps turned on and I much prefer it. I have a pretty big room too. So unless u r a total headbanger stick with 9008's IMHO.
Cheers!
