I will be tomorrow. I am driving up to Mike's shop on Wednesday. I'll drop my wife and sister at the mall and spend a bit of time with Mike before heading back to Cape Coral.

I am shooting for arriving between 12:00 and 1pm. My wife needs to go to church and my sister has something to do in the am. It is about a 90 minute drive up from my sisters place.

I have had my eyes on them even before I picked up the MBL 111F’s. If I could get a reasonable price for my X2 series 2 I would think hard about them.
I stopped by at the Singapore distributor yesterday for a listen. Every bit as amazing as when I went tbeir 9 years ago.
Driven by 4 mbl monoblocks, these could go as LOUD as you wanted them to - without breaking into discomfort or distortion.
They played jazz and classical and The Eagles live well but spinning Pink Floyd the wall at loud volumes was incredible. He then brought out the latest Metallica album, I have hearr it before and wasn't that taken. This was almost taken to the event and the sound was fast, dynamic and incredible- all on cd.
MBL is a speaker you feel as well as listen to. The omni drivers really are unique and this is gives them the best mids and treble I have ever heard.
This MBL system was more musically convincing than the top of line Avant-garde Trios with bass gorns at 350k and all top of line Audio Note amps and Audax digital.
If I ever win the lottery, the top of range MBL would be at the very top of my list.

Ron and Cheng are great peeple at Coherence.
Hearing the MBL xTremes at Coherence was my audio epiphany. In over 10 years I still have not heard anything come close.
Might have to take another trip back there.
Agree. I heard the ones 9 years agom Ron is a lovely fellow and kept putting on disc after disc,then a bit later when Floyd and such was on. He gave me rhe remote and said play it as loud as you like
They have a lot of experience in setting up MBL systems.

Love my MBL’s. Go to Munich, hear everything and realize MBL is still the king. Far superior than some of the over priced stuff we hear there.

Fully agree that the MBL Reference combo (9011 + 101e MKII) is really great. As for Avantgarde Trio LE, I would say the Audio Note top gears are not as musical as with a full top Kondo combo. But price viz-a-viz, the MBL is more realistic for my small room and budget. Come to think of it, it may just be the foundation idea for a new change, partnered with Roon (Going away from Sooloos as its not being Mac OS "properly" supported and yes, the Roon also did sounded better). Add a Continuum/Viper/DS Audio or a full Kronos stack might just be the next dream for me.

a change to MBL would be an awesome idea. Especially since the SG dealer is so experienced and a music lover.
Indeed ... :exciting:
