"Not MBL to my ears, I don't like a guitar string plucked coming at me like a Mack truck in size."
I've heard this criticism of MBL before. Having heard MBL 111s at least, I'm not sure I understand it. Is it more attributed to 101s and their particular extreme dynamics, as I understand it? Does it have something to do wit the fact that they are omni's and the soundstage can go from wall to wall as would be the case listening to a live performance in most venues?
Regardless, I would be hardpressed to not think of MBL as an outstanding brand. Their technology and sound is quite distinctive and delivers unique results that are hard to match for those who subscribe.
