Not much discussion around MBL


Must not be alot of ownership by frequent posters.  They are pricey - I have  heard several models many times and have always been impressed - would love to own a pair.  Not sure I could commit.

Shadorne who knew parasitic vibrational modes could sound so good! 😉

Those on a budget who cant afford or deal with mbl owe it to themselves to set up a pair of ohm walsh well and give that a try. Much more practical for most rooms and used you might pick a pair up for the cost of just a few audiophile fuses. What do you have to lose?  I recommend 100w/ch or higher Class D amps to drive them. Made in Broklyn. Usa and save on your power bill too!
There have been many posts about MBL. Yes pricey.

If you like MBL take a look at German Physiks or OHM. OHMs do not take a big financial commitment to try the waters.

I’ve heard MBL on several occasions once in a well designed dealer showroom and they are special indeed especially if one is able to give them a proper setup.

I also heard GErman Physiks recently for first time at Capital Audiofest and it was best sound in show for me.

I’ve also been an OHM Walsh owner for many years.

I am a fan of more omni-directional speakers obviously. Also of speakers designed to deliver coherent sound. OHMs and GPs are probably better at that than MBL. I also own more conventional monitor speakers that I enjoy a lot but on different terms.
