Not a fan of the omni radiation approach but very interesting videos. Huge amount of engineering and design went into the completed product.
But the crazy pricing??? (latest I could find). They do make for a awesome audio shrine if you have more money than sense. LOL MBL eXtreme 101 loudspeakers: USD $263,000 (black and gold; white and chrome @ USD $271,000)
MBL 9011 stereo/monoblock amplifiers: USD $53,000 per unit; USD $106,000 per pair
MBL 9088 stereo/monoblock amplifiers: USD $30,300 per unit; USD $60,600 per pair
MBL 6010D reference preamplifier: USD $26,500
MBL 1611F reference DAC: USD $28,700
MBL 1621A reference CD transport: USD $28,000
I like MBL, but they insult my intelligence with their design. Passive crossovers on a speaker of that price? Come on. They also allow users to equalize the sound by switching between different internal wiring - copper, silver, etc. What's up with that. Grunt.
