MBL alternatives


I have a pair of Final Sound 1000i's. The only speaker that I've heard that rival's it to ME is the MBL 101E. What else is there that would be great less expensive MBL?

Thanks-

the ohm. legendary(certainly not wannabes), and i guess given the prices of mbl...a steal in comparison.
German Physics might be worth a look. Also omni-directional like MBL, although perhaps even more expensive.
Beolab 5 - not my cup of tea but excellent tight bass, lovely wide soundstage and they look awesome.
