Scansonic mb serie

I was at a similar demonstration where they first played the MB-1 and then switched to the 2.5.  The sound of both pairs were astounding and the room was packed.  The bass put out by the MB-1 was surprising.  However at one point there was some clipping or other distortion and the presenter ran over to the integrated amp to turn it down, saying "oops".

This was rather alarming to me because I did not think they were playing that loud.  So the question is:  How loud can these go?  Does anyone find themselves turning the volume down compared to previously owned speakers?

I agree with the boominess assessment.  Also thanks for confirming these speakers are not for reproducing AC/DC at concert levels.  That being said, I think the midrange, treble and imaging is hard to beat for acoustic and vocal.  I'm considering a pair just for that as they are small enough to move in and out of the system.
