Product Summary
The Scansonic HD MB5B is a slim floor-standing loudspeaker designed for customers who want serious scale and detail from a speaker that is still elegant and room-friendly. It is a strong option for customers who want a more open, faster and more expressive sound than many conventional floorstanders at similar money can usually deliver.
A big part of the appeal is the way it combines a compact footprint with a much more ambitious driver layout than the cabinet first suggests. The MB5B uses a sealed ribbon tweeter and four 5.25 inch carbon-coned drivers in a 2.5-way arrangement, giving it a presentation that is both spacious and dynamic, with deeper bass authority than you might expect from such a slim design.
It is also designed to bring some of the wider Scansonic character into a more accessible speaker. The curved, heavily braced cabinet, carefully arranged driver layout and refined ribbon treble all help the MB5B sound clean, fast and highly involving. For customers wanting a premium-looking floorstander with genuine hi-fi excitement and impressive low-end reach, the Scansonic HD MB5B is an excellent choice.
