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

IMO the 2.5's compete with speakers generally twice the price. But with that said setup is extremely important. They need to be 9ft apart toed in pointing to your shoulders to sound the best. The farther you can get them off the back walls the better (bass can be a bit boomy otherwise). Also if buying new they will sound pretty crappy out of the box but get a lot better after about 500 hrs or more. I highly suggest pre owned for that reason.
