When I read comments such as "MBL's remind me of two weeks ago,when I was at a gorgeous wedding,but sitting way too close to the band." and "Anyone in an urban environment,and without the vast spaces of the great outdoors will love the Minis....PERIOD!!!....I'm being totally honest...they are really that good,unless you simply have to play Pink Floyd's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON at concert levels....Then I understand some other design." and "I had a great time,but came home with a slight headache."
You obviously have never heard a pair of MBL's in a real world situation which is in someones home set-up properly, your comments are laughable. When I read such it only demonstrates to me credibility issues and then voicing your listening experiences from shows or possibly showroom set-ups and not at any ones home or a personal evaluation come on. We went over this previously and it's okay not to like the MBL's but when you suggest you have to listen to them at concert levels please.
I mentioned before I bought a pair of Magico's and was very disappointed in all the hype scattered here and the price outrages. Magico Mini's are way over priced for a two way and the M3's is nothing to get excited about either, that's my opinion and I actually owned a pair. I went over to the person's home who bought them from me wanting to have another listen as they were being set-up in a much smaller environment. I actually went over with three other individuals who own different speakers than the Magico's and MBL's, they all have really nice set-ups and have heard my set-up many times also. The Mini's sounded okay but still left me scratching my head wondering what all the hype is about. I admit they did sound better than at my place but no way do they come close to the experience of a pair of well set-up MBL 101E's period, the three individuals also agreed along with the actual owner no comparison.
Lastly this is a hobby and these forums are to assist but when personally attacking what someone owns is wrong.
