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

I know I am chiming in quite late. I have owned the MB-2.5's for a little over a year and find them to be incredible for the price. They do take time to place properly, but once done they are magic. Also, a high quality not necessarily high powered signal is necessary. My amp is the Bakoon AMR 12R (15Watts per side) and they make beautiful music and they show what the amp is capable of. 

I purchased them after a show in Newport Beach where they were in the same room as Raidho products. The were playing the Raidho D1.1 then swapped them out for the MB 2.5'S. I asked the price of both and was determined to secure the MB 2.5's. I am glad I did.
