The above posts praising the mbl's are consistent with my experience with them, which admittedly goes back a few years to an earlier iteration of the speaker. I've heard them with Jadis JA 500s and the Gryphon amp, and they really are a lot of fun to hear when driven by those powerful amps. They clearly need a lot of power to sing, but when driven properly they can present an amazing recreation of a soundstage. My only complaints about them were that they seemed a little bright to me, and lacked that last octave of bass (and it was virtually impossible to find a subwoofer that was a proper match for them tonally). I'm curious, have the new versions addressed those areas?
