MBL alternatives

I currently own the Final 1000i's and they play very lound. I listen to ALL genre's as well. Everytime that I've heard the MBL's I just "feel" the magic. Don't get me wrong, the Finals are the "best" to me with all that I've heard. Except the MBL's but at 5x the cost.....

Last, I've heard many speakers that I could easily live with but when you get to a certain point it really becomes small little things that take you in.

What do you think of Soundlabs A-1 ?

Soundlabs.

Love them but don't have the room (size) for them...

Morrison and Dueval are some other omni designs to consider that I have heard some good things about.

I own and run six pair of speakers. 2 are Ohm Walsh giant killers. Others are more conventional box designs.

OK - then try to audition ATC SCM50ASL - Gordon Holt had sound labs for ages (and loved them too) - apparently ATC are his current favorites - as you know he has probably heard more speakers than most.
