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?

Shadorne, now those are some speakers I could DEFINITELY use in an HT system!!!! Infact, I might just look into em for such.
Likely superb dynamics, and focus for sure.
Thanks for the link/pic
Looks like another very busy RMAF this year for me....looking forward to it though. Making my demo disk this weekend.
The best omnidirectional speakers besides MBL are Diapason by Shahinian"

Strong statement.

Why?

Just listen.... that's it. Just listen!

When old Dick Shahinian was bringing them to CES - people spent hours, literally hours in their listening room and could not leave....

If you are looking for wide-angle dispersion, the High Emotion Audio speakers like the S7 have a tweeter that is really amazing- the 90-degree off-axis response is nearly the same as straight on! It is also one of the fastest tweeters I've heard.

Indeed. Given the hypercompression in modern pop/rock music, the dynamic range of ATC's are more useful with classical orchestral, big band jazz & funk, and movie soundtracks - or similar stuff. They are used in mastering studios for soundtracks. Gavin Lursen uses them.
