Scansonic MB6B (Set)

The MB6 B is Scansonics flagship loudspeaker. Tall, slim and elegantly curved, it follows the central traditions of Danish loudspeaker design. The design focuses on the ultra-light moving mass of the sealed ribbon tweeter, which has unique speed, resolution and dynamic transient capacity. This provides a very transparent and highly detailed reproduction of even the finest details in the audio material.

The MB6 B is equipped with a powerful array of 6 x 5.25” dynamic drivers with carbon fiber diaphragms, arranged in a power-sharing line array.

The inner drivers handle the midrange up to the point where the treble takes over, and the further away from the center you move, the more the drivers cover the lower frequencies.

In the deepest bass, the combined units will have a total diaphragm area larger than a 12″ woofer, but still with the same speed and agility as the smaller woofer units. This makes the MB6 B an excellent speaker, even in the deepest bass.

The MB6 B is an incredible music communicator with a punch and authority that will take your breath away.

HiFi News review:

"The clarity here is a major factor, but the speakers never stray into 'too much information' territory. Instead, they deliver a sound that's both satisfying in hi-fi terms and musically compelling, too.
...these tall, slender speakers don't just look fabulous: they also deliver the music – any music – with real vitality and impact. They're detailed, refined and classy, ​​but hit them with something rougher and harder and they'll rise to the occasion in admirable style.”

StereoNET review:

"I was impressed. Any fears that those multiple, small diameter bass units couldn't deliver were soon allayed, while its superb ribbon tweeter charmed me. Its floaty, delicate, open sound was an absolute delight to hear. Midband was fast, smooth and precise, and well-integrated with the other drive units.

The result is a gutsy, expansive yet unforced sound. This is further aided by a very quiet cabinet that doesn't add its own color to the proceedings; it allows more music to emanate from every song and album. Some speakers are accurate and revealing but can be audibly tiring. On the contrary, the MB6 B was immersive and inclusive, bringing the listener into the music. Fed with a reasonably powerful amplifier and given a medium to large-sized room, it delivers an effortlessly musical experience. This is an essential addition to the audition list for anyone looking to buy a serious pair of floorstanders at or near this price.”
