Stephen,
Same piston nomex bass driver, same tweeter (in the studio version, but not in the i-series version... The IB1 is not available in an "i" but the IB2 is.) The one component that seperates the two is the 75mm PMC handmade softdome midrange. Imaging & power handling are remarkably superior. The IB2 is actually the companies favorite model. It is small enough to fit in smaller rooms and like all PMC's conveys all the detail and nuance of a good recording at low levels like a near field can... But can rock balls to the wall with the MB2 & BB5. You really get the best of worlds... My favorite aspect of the IB's though, is the Piston Nomex driver, it can give you the impact of kick drum and the weight and tone nickel bass strings. It really makes for a pretty enthralling listening experience.
However If you are looking at the IB1 I would recommend the EB1i, new solonex tweeter and bass extension to 19hz flat, and a sweet veneer to boot.
Hope this helps
Ian
