Price list (in Flemish, but you guys are intelligent enough to understand):




Antoine Furbur, International Sales Director, originally from Canada, but now living in Paris, gives a short but good explanation:

This room was constantly fully packed:

He has an eclectic taste and is a genuine music lover.

Great pictures Bart! MBL is very "Grandiose" and "Palatial" looking.

Learned a few new words and looking forward to the day when I will be eating a Waffle while listening to vinyl on a Draaitafel!

The MBL 101 X-Treme is in fact a beautiful speaker system.




With 6 12" woofers per channel, you might think it would be a superimposing 4 tower thing, but it has some strange elegance.

Seen through the artistic eye of my better half:










The fine copper lamellae on the aluminium are a feast for the eye:

Meta really likes the looks of the X-Tremes.
If we win the lottery, we'll install them for sure.

On top of the Radialstrahler towers, you can tailor the sound.

There is one Class A/B amp per woofer tower.
It drives all 6 woofers.
That makes the 101 X-Treme a semi-active speaker system (unlike all other models).

This system sounded superb.
Effortless was the first word that came up.
And true.




I'm sure the electronics are top notch as well.
It all sounded so well integrated.






Closing my eyes, with acoustic music, the ensemble, the singer, was really in the room.




4 behemoths, 2 for each channel, One for the upper half of a speaker, one for the lower half.
