{"product_id":"scansonic-hd-mb5-b-standlautsprecher-weiss","title":"Scansonic HD MB5 B Floorstanding Speaker, White (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scansonic HD MB5 B is a slim 2.5-way floorstanding speaker with a ribbon tweeter, a dedicated midrange driver and three carbon woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn silky matte white, the tall column looks light and bright – charmingly disguising just how much speaker is actually standing against the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MB5 B?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScansonic HD belongs to the Danish Dantax group, which also includes Raidho – hence the fine ribbon tweeter with its clamped foil diaphragm. The MB5 B relies on its own 5.25-inch midrange driver plus three carbon woofers, which cleanly separates mids and bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of cone area, clearly defined mids and a low-resonance, curved cabinet with adjustable aluminium feet – that's the basis for its mature sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass extension down to 29 Hz, transparent highs and mids that stand free and uncoloured. The MB5 B plays dynamically and confidently, yet stays clean even at level. Thanks to 90 dB sensitivity it's easy to drive and never sounds strained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three woofers provide foundation without covering the mids – the soundstage stays open and well organised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB5 B suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor medium to large rooms and listeners looking for a floorstanding speaker with reserves. Best with a good integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: for a very small room it's too much of a good thing – the smaller MB models are enough there. If you want to hear music big, this delivers plenty of substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA full-fledged high-end floorstanding speaker with a surprisingly slim stature. i-fidelity.net, LowBeats and HiFi News have all reviewed the MB5 B positively.

A high-quality integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier is enough. More important than the wattage is clean, controlled power.
