Two 5.25-inch drivers with carbon diaphragms form the 2.5-way system, in which the second driver specifically reinforces the bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded cabinet edges and the carbon bracing keep resonances small. That keeps the sound free of the cabinet's influence – and the slim silhouette fits discreetly into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear, detailed highs, precise mids and tight bass down to 36 Hz – a lot of foundation for so little floor space. The soundstage is wide and stable, voices feel tangible. The MB2.5 B sounds open and balanced without ever seeming strained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable aluminium feet ensure secure footing and clean coupling to parquet or carpet.\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 bulky floorstanding speaker would be out of place. Best with a good integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: anyone wanting to fill a very large room or wanting headroom at high levels should look at the MB3.5, MB5 or MB6 instead. For normal living rooms the MB2.5 B is ideally tuned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlim, refined, audiophile – the MB2.5 B extracts a surprising amount of sound from a small footprint. stereo, The Ear and AudioKey Reviews have all praised it. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil advise you on whether it suits your room and which amplifier harmonises ideally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5-way floorstanding speaker, bass reflex (front port)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e white silk matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× ribbon tweeter, 1× 5.25″ carbon mid-woofer, 1× 5.25″ carbon woofer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 Hz – 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 6 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 Hz + 2600 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 50 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e curved, heavily braced, vented, with carbon bracing and adjustable aluminium feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 178 × 998 × 286 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.6 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e not included – matching magnetic \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/scansonic-hd-mb2-5-b-frontgrill-schwarz\"\u003efront grille\u003c\/a\u003e (fabric, black) available separately as an accessory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair of speakers (2 units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the price for a pair or a single unit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB2.5 B is sold in pairs, and the price applies to both speakers. As a floorstanding speaker it stands directly on the floor and needs no separate stands. So your stereo pair is complete without any further purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the colour affect the sound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Black, white and walnut share drivers, cabinet and tuning. The finish is purely a matter of taste and interior design. Sonically you get exactly the same MB2.5 B in every colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does 2.5-way mean for the MB2.5 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo bass drivers work on the bass, but only one additionally plays the mids. The second exclusively supports the low end. This brings more bass from a slim cabinet without colouring the mids – ideal for slim floorstanding speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the MB2.5 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quality integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier from around 50 watts harmonises well. Clean, controlled power counts for more than sheer wattage. We're happy to work out together which chain suits your room and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Scansonic HD MB2.5 B at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the interplay of room, amplifier and speaker determines the sound.
