Zingalis and MBLs

[bonzo]

Heard these Zingalis today, the opera coming out of them was the best sound I have heard. The dealer also played them on a basic Unison research 1600 integrated amp just to show you don't need much to drive them, as they are highly sensitive, around 100db or so.

Mbl

Also heard these MBL reference (original cost 55k GBP, powered by Halcro monos with Esoteric P05 - quite good, better than the Wilsons etc which I don't like, but the Zingali was mindblowing.

I've never heard the Zingalis, but the MBLs are fantastic! If I ever have the money, that's the speaker I will be buying. Member Gordon Gray has the MBL 116's and loves them.

Hi Fox,

Liking them even more with my new preamp.

Saw a pair of 111F's on the gon today for $15K.

But the "steal", if you have the change, is a complete MBL system (Xtremes, amps, CDP, DAC, cabling, etc.) for $150K. About 30 cents on the dollar.

Hope all is well with you and family.

Gordon

Gordon,

Thanks for the nice comments! If I ever have the money, (and the room to put it in) the MBL "REFERENCE MASTER" system is my dream stereo. I have actually heard this same system three times now and WOW, like nothing I've ever heard before. Just like this guy:

Hope you are doing well also and staying warm in Jackson. One of my favorite places on earth. Maybe I can have my dream system and house up there.

Fox,

I'm pretty sure that's what's available for $150K.

Pricey but when you are saving $300K plus, it is a steal.

If only I had the room and the cash. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best,

Gordon

Bonzo,
How much were the Zingali BTW?

Cheers,

This Zingali orginal was 25 GBP, the dealer was selling them for 10 as they were 5 years old. However, yesterday I heard a new model which was 6.5k new price, but it was rubbish.
