“We come now to one of my favorite loudspeakers, the four-driver, four-way, $91,000 MBL 101E MkII omni, driven and sourced (as usual) by MBL’s own outstanding electronics. A few issues ago, one of my colleagues remarked that (until the show he was then reporting on) he’d never heard the MBLs sound good. Well, all I can say is maybe he should consult an audiologist. This is and has always been a great loudspeaker. Grainless and natural with surprisingly good bass extension in a smaller room and simply remarkable spaciousness, it sounded superb on “People Get Ready” and other soul, rock, and jazz cuts. Yeah, it was a bit dark in color in this space and a tiny bit bright in the treble, but it was also exceedingly lovely and lifelike. It was the first speaker I found myself tapping my foot to, which says something very good about its PRAT. Another Best of Show contender.”
