Opinions on MBL 121's


Just had my first audition of these awesome speakers, but want to know audiogoner's experiences long term. Any problems or issues? What is the best suited amplification and cabling?

Thanks for any input.

Conservi,

I have MBL111 in the study room 1/3 the size of your 40'x24'. Your room is not small and I would say too big for 121 with pink floyd. You need a 111 or better 101 to fill the room with good quality bass.

I listen to rock and classical to volume tend to be larger than normal.

Find a retailer that allow you to test drive it and exchange for upper model within the test drive period. That will be safer.

24x14' - then 121 should do but do watch out for later desire to upgrade to full tower.

I know many 121 owner eventually do that and taking a small lose to sell their 121. There are 3 pairs of 121 show up in my city recently because of this reasons.
