Joe I wonder how those would sound with a pair of subwoofers?
Hi Joe,
I’ve listened to these and they are stunning. Just HUGE bang for the buck. They deliver a high percentage of the 101E Mk2’s performance in a much smaller and less expensive package. Obviously less bass response but they’re not lacking in that area at all.

So between these and the Kharma DB9s which one is the better option?
Both excellent. Would use for different implementations.The Kharma is larger and has a fuller bottom end impact. The MBL has a holographic musical presentation with a somewhat limited bottom. So, selection would be room dependent and budget driven since they are at different price points.
While I've heard other MBL's and really enjoyed them I've yet to hear these. Regardless calling a $23,000 stand mount speaker with limited bottom end and specific amplification needs an 'excellent bang for the buck' is rather comical in my book.

The most impressive stand mount speaker I've heard to date in the $20k range was the Thrax Lyra. Just unreal range and sound, and in a large room.
Ken, point taken and with that I suppose I should. But regardless, my comment was based on what's being said here in this thread and the corresponding msrp, a number that doesn't register with me as 'bang for the buck'

Driven by the Noble integrated these absolutely fill my 16x26 room. Never felt the need to try to integrate subs, even though there's a pair sitting right there for the 5.2 system. Best thing is they play well with all genres, from scuzzy indie like Fontaines DC and Little Barrie to the most refined classical and horn-spitting jazz.

Tremendous system Parker, congrats!!! Like I was saying before and supported by your experience, the MBL 120’s are not in any way lacking in bass.
Enjoy!
