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.

I have MBL 111e's; powered by MBL 8011 monoblock amps. I also have a DD15 sub; and my system sounds great. clear; open; fantastic base on both the main speakers; but the sub helps with home theater presense. The mbl sound is a matter of taste; but in the right set up they are truly magical. If you check on the virtual system links here on the 'gon; there are several owner's comments on the mbl systems; their demand for power is overblown; many people are running them with good tubes; but I think they sound better with ss. They are worth considering for evaluation of high end systems.
