Getting there!yay! pictures. Great system, Dave. I've noticed in an all MBL system how everyone seems to like adding the 6010d. I suspect that the 9008s will be fine for your room, I don't even have the two adde... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |

No more foolin' aroundHi Des, I am suspicioning that you will like the 600.5 with the 101s. M BLs tend to be a tad sweet, and the 600s should counter that. Hey, the Bentley GT convertible is a sweet car, my friend has o... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |

MBL RocksGreat system, I love MBL gear myself. It reminds me of cool, pure, running spring water. I had watt/puppies for a bunch of years, and IMHO Wilsons are probably a tad more accurate, but the MBLs are... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |

Getting there!Bflowers, the Symposium 2;s are not very tall, so I just slip one in front, and then two in back. Microdynamics on the MBLs improved noticeably, the bass clarified a bit, and I think the soundstage... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment |
