We tried a pair of the MB2.5 from a distributor to see if we might want to carry the line. We did extended break-in of the speakers, since the distributor said they probably only had about 100 hours of play. So, we proceeded to put on probably another 500-600 hours of break-in. In the end, we just couldn't get past the boomy bass. We had them in a couple of different rooms/systems where the speakers were plenty far away from room boundaries and we still were constantly dealing with boomy/bloated/undefined bass. The rest of the sound was quite decent, but really just in line with their price range. As soon as we'd go back to one of our usual speakers in these rooms, we were much happier with the sound. Needless to say, we sent the speakers back and didn't consider the line.
Scansonic MB2.5 floor stander speaker. Does it complete with often speaker at $3500??
Scansonic speakers came onto the audio market about 3 years ago. It is supposed to be a less expensive version of Raidlo speakers which are much more expensive. I have seen several of the Scansonic MB2.5 for sale, and have an opportunity to buy a used pair for about half price. I have no way of hearing them, but have read a few reviews.
Like to get some feedback about MB2.5's overall performance especially overall musicality. I currently own a pair of Golden Ear Technology 7's which are good but I want to upgrade to a better sounding speaker with a deeper sound stage and better transparency
Also, like to know how user friendly they are in a medium size room, and whether set-up is a problem
Thank you, S.J
