{"product_id":"scansonichdmb8bblack","title":"Scansonic HD MB8 B Floorstanding Speaker, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MB8 B?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time-aligned crossover blends ribbon and carbon drivers seamlessly – the result is big, organic and never tiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB8 B for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-way floorstanding speaker (MB series statement model), bass reflex with 3 ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× ribbon tweeter, 2× 5.25″ carbon midrange, 2× 8″ carbon woofers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response (-6 dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 Hz – 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 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 400 Hz \/ 2800 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e min. 100 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e curved, heavily braced, with adjustable aluminium feet; hand-built in Denmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 355 × 1450 × 490 mm (incl. feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair of speakers (2 pieces)\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the MB8 B need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScansonic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the MB8 B and the MB6 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size suits the MB8 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Scansonic HD MB8 B at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a statement speaker deserves the right environment.
