kaif,
I have heard mbl 111s on high end and expensive mbl amplification sourced from cd, vinyl, and reference reel to reel in a large dealer room with significant space (~15-20 feet) behind the speakers, a near optimal set up for the mbls I would say.
Their 3-D imaging was absolute best I have heard period. You could point to exact location and distinguish individual musicians in that 3-d space behind teh speakers in a large scale orchestral work. Simply fabulous!
Though the OHMs do things somewhat differently than mbls and my system and room is not to the same level as the dealers mbl setup, I must say that as an owner of the top of the line OHMs (~$6000 retail), I do not pine for the mbls and actually prefer the relative simplicity and smaller scale of my setup.
