Not much discussion around MBL

@pops, c'mon Jerry, you can't figure this one out?

The reason you don't hear MBL owners posting on audio forum threads is because they are More Busy Listening. ;^)

Seriously though, pricey, rather limits the amount of owners available to comment.
Also, you won't find many folks who can afford big ticket items perusing through threads on used audio gear websites.

Cheers,
John

@pops I would love to own a pair of MBL speakers as well. I have my eye on the MBL starter system - $33.4k. It includes the MBL 126 Speakers/stands, C31 CD/DAC, and C51 integrated amp. I heard this system about a year and a half ago at a dealer event and thought it was very very good. I plan to go audition it again in the new year. -I also heard the Noble line mono blocks with the 101 E MKII speakers on the same day and the MBL 126  sounded pretty similar, just with the  101 E MKII providing more of the same. MBL seem to have their house sound figured out across lines.

FYI - I've heard a number of their speakers including the 116, 111, 101 E MKII, and the 101 x-treme. To me, they are all fantastic. I've also heard all three lines of electronics and I like all-MBL systems very much. YMMV but I'd highly recommend you find an audition. -I've heard MBL many times and I always walk away very much enjoying the quality of the sound and they are on my short list when I build a new system. Also, they are usually, for me, in the top 1-4 at audio shows and have been number 1 for me a few times. Just a fabulous sound.

I have heard MBLs on numerous occasions. Always among the best I've ever heard with the exception of a two audio shows where they produced too much bass because they were played too loudly in a room that could not handle them. A truly great company in all respects.

@jmcgrogan2 John 😂.  Good point - you got me there but I do still  see some fans of big buck speaks like Magico.   Newer on the scene I guess.  

MBL is OVERPRICED German gear made for the STATUS conscious bling crowd. NOT AFFORDABLE by the average hi-fi enthusiast - hence few posts! Best bang-for-the-buck omni speakers have always been the OHM Walsh's (made in Brooklyn, NY)!
