MBL advice


I am considering the purchase of MBL speakers-- either the 101e's or more likely the 111f's. My room is approximately 16' wide by 25' long and has reflective surfaces (doors and 3 foot tall wood wainscoting all around) near where the speaker will be located. I feel like the room is large enough to get the speakers at least 4 feet from the side walls and 7 feet from the back wall. My amp should drive either with no problem.

I have heard these speakers at shows and thought they sounded great on rock music (great tuneful bass and huge soundstage) but the rooms were very highly damped with curtains, carpet and sound absorbtion at reflection points.

Am I taking on a difficult project to get these to sound good in my room? Would I be better served by more point source speakers that are not omnis?

Ohhhh man, I have dreams about MBL speakers!! I'm a big fan of very dispersive speakers - have owned Ohms and now Gallo Reference - and my dream speakers are MBLs. I love the looks, the build quality, and the sound! The price has kept me from getting some, but who knows, maybe some day???

I envy you, my friend!
