As my son would say...."back in the day", I had a pair of Ohm F's driven by a big SAE amp, a 2600 I think. For all their faults, and there were many, the omnidirectional Ohm F's threw an incredible soundstage - not like minimonitors, more like a live performance.

I think Jim's explanation of the MBL sound matches my experience with the Ohm F's.

I got rid of the Ohm F's because they would start to sing at 200 watts and blow up at 201.

I'm wondering if the MBL's create a sound field similar to the Ohm F's?

Has anybody heard both?

I too will be in Singaopre, I think the first or second week in December. Jerry, if you would please give me the contact info for the store that has them, I wuld appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tom
