{"product_id":"scansonichdmb8bwn","title":"Scansonic HD MB8 B Floorstanding Speaker, Walnut (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, here in real walnut wood veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm wood finish takes away any severity from Scansonic's largest model – a statement that still feels like a piece of furniture in the living room.\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\u003eThe walnut veneer is real wood and explains the premium over the gloss version. The technology and tuning are identical – two 5.25-inch carbon midrange drivers, two 8-inch carbon woofers, all of them Raidho's own developments. You get the same statement in a warmer look.\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 volume and in large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time-aligned crossover blends ribbon and carbon drivers seamlessly – 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 – and for listeners who want a warm natural material. Ideal with a powerful, high-quality amplifier. Plain talk: Scansonic recommends at least 100 watts – 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 walnut version is the coziest statement of the MB series – sonically identical to the gloss version, visually in a class of its own. 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 Walnut (real wood veneer)\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\u003eWhy does the walnut version cost more?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's real wood veneer instead of gloss lacquer. Natural wood takes more effort to select and process, and every grain is unique. Sonically, the walnut version is identical to the gloss version – the premium is purely in the finish.\u003c\/p\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 price applies to both speakers. As a floorstanding speaker it needs no stands. So your stereo statement is complete 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\u003eWhy buy the Scansonic HD MB8 B at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a statement speaker deserves the right environment.
