Scansonic MB-5 pair

The MB-5 pair were on display on our showroom floor.

The MB-5 is a unique slim floor standing loudspeaker with four 4.5” carbon-coned drivers and a sealed ribbon tweeter. The 5 works as a 2.5-way speaker design, where two 4.5” carbon coned midrange-woofers are supported by two additional Carbon coned drivers for additional base performance. The two carbon midrange-woofers are run in series for an increased and dynamic power handling.

The 5 cabinet is heavy braced, curved and with solid carbon reinforcements.

The speaker is crossed over at 3.5 kHz and the two added side woofers assist up to 200 Hz. The MB-5 carries the base right down to the deepest notes and does that with an effortless drive that will leave amazed.
