Scansonic mb serie

Murgeshj,

Glad to know that you enjoy your 2.5's. The 2.5's could be a little bit short in the mids as you said. I found that can be compensated by cables. Several interconnects I tried sounded very detailed and dynamic but too lean when they're paired with the 2.5's. But I think I've found the one that fits my budget with the sound I like. Anyway, congrats 9n yiur success with the 2.5's. Keep us posted if you find new tweaks.

Has anybody auditioned the MB-6's? If so, would you mind of sharing your experience?

Does somebody can tell if the mb 1 would be ok if placed very close to the rear wall?
thanks

I have mine placed very close to the wall using as surrounds in a 5.1 setup and they are performing great. They should perform fine as maids close to the wall since they are front ported but you will lose some depth in the soundstage. 

I'm interested in these speakers, specifically the MB 2.5, but don't have a place to hear them, so would have to purchase on faith.  I've been watching Scansonic postings on Agon over the past few weeks and have seen several postings for low hour, basically brand new speakers at 50% of new.  Several people have mentioned that they bought them as demos at CES, but how many of those can there be?  I've grown accustomed to taking Agon descriptions with a grain of salt.  I'm really concerned that these things sound so bad out of the box that people are giving up on them almost immediately and selling them.  Also curious about the increased value of the dollar vs. Euro over the last several months and wondering if they are simply selling for less.
