Scansonic mb serie

That's a great idea, but since they have very heavy proprietary stands, it'll be easier to have an in-home trial of the 3.5 if I like their overall sound.

I know the X1 and the D5. Would love to get that kind of transparency for a better price. My current standmounts are equivalent to the X1, albeit larger, but I miss having decent LFs. The MB 3.5 just might fit the bill.
Did you ever get to go back and listen to them after they had more time on them? It's really, really hard to get a picture of a speaker with only 30 hours of break-in. I know that I heard the C1.1 after listening for quite a while to the X1 and the X1 bested it almost in every aspect. The problem was that the C1.1 only had 50 hours on them and Raidhos take forever to break in.

Thank you for the feedback. A dealer about 2 hours away will get them in about 2 weeks. I'll give him about another two weeks to break them in and then will probably visit him.
