Below it, two 5.25-inch drivers with rigid carbon diaphragms work on the 2.5-way principle – the second driver specifically supports the power-hungry bass range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved cabinet with carbon bracing reduces resonance and edge diffraction. From the front, the MB2.5 B looks strictly rectangular; from the side, organically rounded – Nordic design that also serves an acoustic purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fresh, high-resolution sound with cleanly defined, tight bass that reaches down to 36 Hz. The MB2.5 B draws a wide, stable soundstage and separates voices and instruments precisely. Despite the narrow front, it sounds mature and assured, not thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable aluminium feet decouple it cleanly from the floor – whether parquet or carpet, once aligned it stands rock solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB2.5 B suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor small to medium-sized rooms where a classic floorstanding speaker would be too bulky, yet the sound should still be mature. Ideal with a quality integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: for very large rooms or SPL orgies it's not the first choice – for that, the series offers the larger MB3.5, MB5 or MB6. For normal-sized living rooms it's spot on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA floorstanding speaker that elegantly combines high-quality looks, a slim footprint and audiophile ambition. stereo, The Ear and AudioKey Reviews have all praised the MB2.5 B.

That lets you budget your stereo setup right away. As a floorstanding speaker it needs no additional stands – you place it straight on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does 2.5-way mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth bass drivers handle the bass, but only one additionally covers the midrange. The second exclusively supports the lower frequency range. This gives more bass foundation from a slim cabinet without colouring the midrange – a clever compromise between size and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size suits the MB2.5 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt feels most at home in small to medium-sized living rooms, up to around 25 square metres.

More important than sheer wattage is clean, stable power.
