HI, I own the MBL 116. Like most people, I was wowed by the out of reach 101E that knocked me off but cost is prohibitive. I thought I would just settle for the 116. I went to audition the full Nobel Line of 8011S power amp and 5011 pre-amp set up with the 1531E CD player. I was blown by the beautiful dynamic range of an ordinary Nat King Cole CD.In the end, save for the CD player, I got an MBL setup and now await for the CD player which I am saving up for. MBL is sought after here in Asia despite having no ads but is reaching out to more now with MBL America and the ads in audiophile magazine. No regrets at all with my MBL purchases. Cheers

I am looking forward to purchasing the 116's and want to know more about this co. before I make the purchase. I am hoping I get some feedback from actual owners. Some of my concerns are which amp will work well and do I need to look for certain characteristics in the upstream electronics. Also what about set up and room characteristics. All comments are welcome pertaining to this speaker. thanks
