Not much discussion around MBL

@jmcgrogan2 John 😂.  Good point - you got me there but I do still  see some fans of big buck speaks like Magico.   Newer on the scene I guess.  

MBL is OVERPRICED German gear made for the STATUS conscious bling crowd. NOT AFFORDABLE by the average hi-fi enthusiast - hence few posts! Best bang-for-the-buck omni speakers have always been the OHM Walsh's (made in Brooklyn, NY)!

Good point - you got me there but I do still  see some fans of big buck speaks like Magico.   Newer on the scene I guess.  

Possibly because Magico are newer to the scene. However, I think that is more likely because Magico is manufactured in the USA.

You will find more discussions on these forums around ARC, VAC, D'Agostino, Rowland products than you will see regarding Goldmund, FM Acoustics, Vitus, Jadis, MBL, etc.

Some call it regioncy bias. I'm sure that German Audio Forums have more discussions about MBL speakers than Magico or Rockport speakers.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Gobble, Gobble!!

Dont like the lamela design. These things are designed to flex which is bad news. There must be all kinds of parasitic vibrational modes in those blades.
