The Scansonic HD MB8 B is the statement floorstanding pair of the MB series – a 3-way bass-reflex system with a ribbon tweeter, two carbon midrange drivers and two 8-inch carbon woofers.

In gloss black, Scansonic's largest and most powerful model presents itself exactly as it sounds: composed, without pushing itself forward. Anyone who thinks "understated" and "statement" are a contradiction hasn't heard the Danes yet.

Why the MB8 B?

Like Raidho, Scansonic HD belongs to the Danish manufacturer Dantax – and the MB8 B is the brand's most uncompromising answer yet to the question of how much Raidho DNA fits into an affordable cabinet. The quasi-ribbon tweeter with Kapton foil diaphragm weighs around 50 times less than a classic dome and renders highs silky and lightning-fast.

Below it, two 5.25-inch carbon midrange drivers and two 8-inch carbon woofers do the work – all of them Raidho's own developments, not bought-in parts. The curved, heavily braced cabinet with three bass-reflex ports and adjustable aluminium feet keeps the sound free from the enclosure.

What you hear

Big, effortless dynamics with genuine low-end extension from two 8-inch drivers, plus clear, standalone mids and an airy, finely resolved top end. The MB8 B builds a wide, stable soundstage and stays completely composed even at high levels and in large rooms.

The time-aligned crossover blends ribbon and carbon drivers seamlessly – the result is big, organic and never tiring.

Who is the MB8 B for?

For large rooms, demanding stereo and upscale home cinema. Ideal with a powerful, high-quality amplifier. Plain talk: Scansonic recommends at least 100 watts – and that's not marketing; the MB8 B wants an amplifier with reserves and a room that leaves space for two 8-inch drivers. In a small living room it plays below its potential; there the MB3.5 or MB5 are the smarter choice.

Our verdict

The MB8 B is the "statement" of the MB series – the largest, most powerful model Scansonic has built so far, yet unmistakably elegant. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil advise you on room, amplifier and placement so this pair plays big and clean instead of just loud.

Frequently asked questions

Is the price for a pair or a single unit?

The MB8 B is sold in pairs; the stated price applies to both speakers. As a floorstanding speaker it needs no stands. So you get your complete stereo statement with a single purchase.

How much amplifier power does the MB8 B need?

Scansonic recommends at least 100 watts. With 4 ohms and two 8-inch woofers, the MB8 B rewards a powerful, controlled amplifier with reserves. More important than sheer wattage is clean, stable power – which chain suits your room is something we're happy to work out together.

What's the difference between the MB8 B and the MB6 B?

The MB6 B is a line array of six 5.25-inch drivers, the MB8 B a classic three-way design with two genuine 8-inch woofers. The MB8 B relies on depth and level from large drivers, the MB6 B on the speed of many small ones. Which one fits better depends on room and taste.

What room size suits the MB8 B?

It's built for large rooms, ideally from around 30 square metres upward, and also suits demanding home cinema. In small rooms, the bass from the two 8-inch drivers can become too dominant. We're happy to advise you on the right choice.
