New Scansonic MB2.5B vs older MB2.5


Someone has heard the new Scansonic MB-B series, in particular I would like to know the comparison between the old MB2.5 and the new MB2.5B.

Hi Contuzzi
What would you like to say with "Great speakers if your listening style/usage fits the bill"?

After about 3 months that I have the new MB2.5B at home, I can only speak well of these speakers. After a break-in period of over 200 hours these speakers have become delicious. Large opening at the top, excellent bass and medium persuasive. Excellent sound stage and depth of image. After several tests of amplifiers I stopped on a Lyngdorf SDA2175 (200w per channel on 8 ohm and 380 watts on 4 ohm) driven by a Primaluna Prologue 3 preamp. They need good and many watts (it is important to use an amplifier that has good control) to play the best. I don't know the first series of which I have read that many have had some problems managing. But these I can only recommend. Excellent value for money.

I recently replaced the Lyngdorf SDA2175 class D power amplifier with an old Motif MS1001 power amplifier and the Primaluna Prologue Three preamp with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp and adding Mit Shotgun S1 speaker cables. What a quantum leap forward!! The Motif amplifier, despite its almost 30 years of life, has given richness and magic to the sound emitted by the Scansonic MB2.5B. The Motif is truly a crazy amplifier, too bad it's practically unobtainable. For Scansonic owners, especially if they have been placed on a wooden floor, I recommend using the Isoacustics Gaia III feet. They will be amazed!!
