This MBL system sports 101D's and some wonderful MBL mono-blocks as well...
That entire system is for sale! They are asking $16k obo for the speakers... I thought about them for about 2 seconds before buying the 101a's realizing that I could not REALLY afford even the a's so FOR SURE not the d's! They will be a GREAT BUY for someone with more money than me though!

Thanks Joey! I look forward to getting them to the house and a/bing them to the Prodigy! They should be very close w/ the Prodigy out basing the MBL's I would guess...
Those D's would be AWEOMSE. Your local dealer might not have D's...they may have the current production E's! I can't imagine there is a HUGE difference other than in the price between those two though!
Let us know what you think when you hear them Joey and you might ask them if they can make me (or you for me) a SWEET deal on either the 8011AM (need two of them) amps or the 9007 amp (two of those needed also)...
Be cool!

Here are the shots again to go w/ this thread incase you are to lazy to click on the link...LOL! :haha1:
Can't wait to get these to the house! :rocker:
Just in case someone looks at this for the first time and has not been keeping up, these are the 101a model that were the beginnings of the 101 line, all MBL gear is made in Germany.

Roger that... BD will have to beat all the high techery and video surveilence at my house first then he will have to get past me holding an H&K MP5SD!
I am a pretty good shot and the jungle clip I have connects two 40rd mags and the bad boy runs at about 800 round per minute...so BD better be pretty fast too!

MBL101e's...
Yes, I know Tim (MITT) and Roberto and Dave at the Audio show in Denver CO., this past year. The guys really liked the sound of them quite a bit... The 101e's sounded quite lovely indeed.
James,
:drool: You know my offer to pick-up your MBL101A's still stands, as long as I can 'borrow' them on a perminate basis... I just can't stand the thought of them just sitting in your friends office - not plugged into anything powerful with lots of juice...

Yea, and I just got off the phone with him a few minutes ago. He is leaving to go out of town w/ his family on Saturday and won't be back till Sunday a week later! DAMN! It looks like our first good weather break was going to be on Sunday and into next week too! So it will be two more weeks till I can get out there and pick them up! DANG IT! I am SOOOO looking forward to hooking those bad boys up to some Rotel juice! At 700 wpc into 4 ohms, they should have the power to make these bad boys move pretty good! I would ultimately like to pair them w/ some MBL mono's (8011AM's) but that will have to wait for some time... Unless I win the lottery or something! :rocker:

There are a couple of folks who have heard these at some of the various high end audio festivals like in CO, and over seas I think, maybe someone in NY heard them too. I can't remember.

I heard the 101E and the double stack pair with the sub towers at CES. Day one they sounded so so. Day two after MBL tinkered all night was the closest thing to live music I have ever heard. Just astonishing!
We also have a dealer in PHX that sells MBL and he has them on display. They sound really good in his store as well. These speakers are very live sounding. The music reproduction is amazing!

Phoenix is the USA's Main Import-Distributor Of MBL's...
Your dealer in Phoenix is the official MBL distributor for America.
Damn, I wish I owned James' 101A's... I mean, I wish I had the cash, I'd go to Phoenix is a heart beat. Heck, I'd even go to Germany to MBL's main plant, to acquire some MBL101e's, and I hate to fly...
James,
Maybe, I could visit your 101A's, we could work out a joint custity arrangement... You could fly me to Texas every other weekend.
Or if your 101A's reproduce, I could have pick of the letter...
Only kidding...
