mbl classic line
Hi,
I recently bouhgt some mbl classics line components and I thought I would share some impressions. There isn't too much written about these for some reason.
Here is some background.
Preamp = mbl 4006
Amp = 8006B
Cd player = 1431
Speakers = Gallo 3.1 reference
cables = Anti cable speakers wire and Audio Art ICs, all balanced XLR tpe.
I hooked it up started to listen to a few famliar things.
Oscar Peterson "Night Train" - imaging is very good, cymbals on the trap set are well balanced and near perfect to my ears, string bass solos have a real depth to the pitches.
Copland - Rodeo Suite, Fanfare for the Common Man etc. Eric Kuenzel, CSO, Telarc - again very good imaging with a good sense of depth of sound stage and good delineation of instruments.
Diana Krall - S'wonderful track from her CD of blues type pop songs - excellent tamber to her voice, you can hear how it was mixed in the studio, that might good or bad for some people
Overall this system, for the money, is just about the best sound I've ever owned. I've had McIntosh and ARC in the past and these are very good pieces, but the overall presentation with the mbls just seems to get out of the way.
As with anything you might have a different experience. The sound is both detailed and somewhat on the warm side of neutral but not too euphonic in nature.
So there are my two cents. Anyone else have these pieces and care to add their thoughts?
