Re: RMAF05 impressions

I didn't go, but several of my friends did. They apparently liked the Herron and Von Schweikert rooms a lot. One of my friends said that the MBL room sounded pretty bad. I like some of the things that MBL speakers do--particularly dynamics and impact--but they have several "flaws" that have always steered me away from them: (a) A mildly diffuse sound; (b) require TONS of power to drive them adequately; (c) the sound tends to collapse at low volumes; and (d) IMO, the bass doesn't integrate well with the rest of the speaker. My friend's comments about the room tend to echo my observations. YMMV, of course. There are a lot of things to love about the speaker, too.
