Scansonic mb serie
My 2.5 have approx. 400 hours on them and yes they sounded like crap when I first set them up.Everything is true about setup from above..9 feet apart for sure.I found to control the bass a sub was necessary in my room as well as bass traps in corn... 
Scansonic mb serie
I agree with break in on the 2.5s.My set sounded great at approx. 125 hours on them then the went the other direction(meaning to the bad).I ran a break in cd 24/7 for about another week and wow they started back in the right direction.Didnt listen... 
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?
I don't think Harbeth gets more press coverage these days,at least I don't see it but I will admit I don't pay much attention to the product.The thing about Harbeth is it has a following like McIntosh and B&W.Its an old well established name a...

I own the mb2.5s..and I owned the Raidho C3s..the C3s were 42 thousand dollars!!!!!,I paid $2500 for the 2.5s new in box.Only a fool would compared the two speakers or try to.Having said that IMO the MB 2.5s are a worthy contender if your on a bud...

You cant make that comparison...all those speakers are 1000s more $$$...the s1 is like 13K...the 2.5s are 3500.00...lets get real here my fiend 
Speaker suggestion for Pass Labs Int-150
The Scansonic MB2.5s and Pass labs work very well together,if you like Raidho and only want to send under 3 grand... 
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?
I agree that Harbeths have a following just like B&W and McIntosh which come to mind..You either love em or hate em.I would guess those that are running Harbeths have been doing so for some time and have no intentions of selling.For me having ...

Being an ex Raidho c3 owner I purchased the mb 2.5s...After the initial break in they sound amazing especially considering they were 40 grand less than what I had.IMO you should definitely take a long listen before buying anything. 
Oh no, not B&W again
Not to bash B&W yet again as they've been run through the ringer on this site over the years ,and rightfully so IMO.Having heard the 802d way too many times finding it just a mess in the bass and not coheriant,lack of the toetap factor with ju... 
Tidal Agoria vs The Keggs
This has to be one of the dumbest post Ive read in years.. 
Running two MC275's in mono
Ive owned the 275 on more than one occasion and Ive heard the Tidals..IMO not a good match at all.The Macs are too slow and tubby and better suited for other speakers 
I wanna rock -- with monitors on stands
IMO, your not rocking with that setup..You may think you are but I seriously doubt it..The speakers are only good from what I just read down to mid 4s and without cabinet volume or a nice sub,just not happening...I built a second system with 1950s... 
I wanna rock -- with monitors on stands
IMO what your seeking is something along JBL/Altec status.The music you listen to in most cases is poorly mixed and mastered,even on LP.To throw cash at monitors and a sub in most cases is a big waste ie Dynaudio C1 and f110 combo.I have tons of t... 
considering 15 yr old Eggleston Andra's
I think the biggest question is..how much??IMO unless deeply discounted Id pass..The bass and weight is an issue as stated above..Plus tough resale factor 
Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H
IMO, Levinson..The new MC452 has been slammed by the followers and after hearing it many times I agree.Guessing this amp is short lived.Having heard the 532H once its really a better choice for your speakers,SF is known for being kindof in the sam...
