I just found out there were answers to this thread.
Richard: I have been living with these MB Quarts for eight months and like them a lot. $100 for these speakers in mint condition is a steal. My cabinets were slightly dented in the shipping as I bought them off of ebay along with a Rotel receiver and CD player for my bedroom system. I think the sensativity rating is higher than 91db because I have compared them to a pair of KEF C 75 and the Quart Three seem to be louder than the KEF at the same volume level.
Ryan: I to was familiar with the company through their car audio line. Fantastic car speakers. I agree that the car speakers are bright and accurate. The home speakers are different sounding. Not bright at all and they put out good bass through my tube set up. The KEF's bass is a little tighter than the Quart Threes. Compared to my Klipsch Heresy they are darker and have a more reserved sound - but everything sounds darker compared to them though. As to power handling I have run them through a 200 wpc SS amp, a 50 wpc SS receiver and an 8 wpc tube integrated amp. I have had no issues what so ever in the power handling department. All in all, they are a very good sounding high quality speaker. If I were in the market for a slim floor standing speaker I would definetly give them a listen. The newer Quarts I have seen on the net have a higher minimum power rating (if there is such a thing) than these older Quart Threes. No big deal if you are running SS.
