These old MBLs are less capable than 101 mk2 - no woofer box, single binding posts, Radialstrahler responsible for base all the way down (which is not very deep, at least with Aleph 4). The rest of the range is quite amazing though, and I do not want to spoil mids for gain in base. In an ideal world I’d try two Aleph 4 - one per channel ‘paralleled’ ;-)
BTW, Once I put in place XLR cables, am I right in understanding that balanced connection for Aleph 4 will mean less gain = more nfb = less output impedance? If so, will that take Aleph 4 a small step closer to powerhouse imitation? (up to 100w Aleph 4’s power delivery should be effortless and dynamically uncompressed, as it is biased at 250wpc idle)
