Scansonic MB2.5 floor stander speaker. Does it complete with often speaker at $3500??


Scansonic speakers came onto the audio market about 3 years ago. It is supposed to be a less expensive version of Raidlo speakers which are much more expensive. I have seen several of the Scansonic MB2.5 for sale, and have an opportunity to buy a used pair for about half price. I have no way of hearing them, but have read a few reviews.

Like to get some feedback about MB2.5's overall performance especially overall musicality.  I currently own a pair of Golden Ear Technology 7's which are good but I want to upgrade to a better sounding speaker with a deeper sound stage and better transparency

Also, like to know how user friendly they are in a medium size room, and whether set-up is a problem

Thank you,  S.J

As a former MB-2.5 owner; I feel they were one of the most competitive speakers in that price range. But they are definitely not very ’user friendly’ per se. If you can place the speakers like Xti16 said and feed them with quality source and amplification, they will amaze you big time. I followed his guidance and got great results. I sold mine after more than a year of ownership and moved up the ladder to something much more expensive but I still missed their sound every once in a while.
