| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? jon,That’s my personal experience only of course. It is an acquired taste, not for everyone obviously. YMMVBut good radials/omnis like mbl or OHM are worth a try for those just not finding the complete answer with more conventional designs and wil... | |
