The tweaking and dialing in of the MBL101E speakers and System continues.....


- Added some Evolution Acoustics Triple Run speaker cables, in place of the Transparent Audio Reference XL (for sale).

- Installed Marigo Audio Mystery Feet between the speakers and the Symposium Reference platforms for the MBL's and the REL subwoofer.

- Pulled the speakers further into the room which opened up the amazing imaging even more!

- Installed an Audioquest Dragon power cord to the EMM Labs DV2 DA/Preamp

- Added a Shunyata Everest power conditioner with Shunyata Omega XC power cord

Stunning. Simply amazing. And I too have an Oppo. But that's where the similarities begin and end.

Thanks Guys!
The MBL speakers are not your typical speaker as you are aware.
Removing a lot of the room acoustic treatments and pulling the speakers far from the front wall helped a lot.
The Marigo Mystery feet under the speakers and sub really tightened up the imaging and low end.
Dead center vocals and no smearing.
The goal is to allow the speakers to "disappear".
I may be at that point currently.
Thanks again,
Gregg
