To my ears it's a very agreeable sound. All I have at this time is their MX-100 sub, and at my crib, she's thunderous. Give it a try!

For some strange reason, I don't think Ken was referring to the shipping hazards !!!!!!! smiley_rotflmao.gifIf you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money. -
I have an M&K k7 as my center and am thinking about getting a pair of b75's for my main fronts. I like 'em. Be wary about those
s150 cause i'm pretty sure I read that there were some fake ones going around that are made in China. Came across that in a
thread somewhere on the web.KEF Q50 mains, M&K center, Boston Acoustics surround, Marantz SR6007 pre, Emotiva UPA-700, Pioneer DV-46AV, Samsung BD-j7500, Sunfire HRS12 subwoofer -

Forget what I said earlier. It was the mp-150 and that thread was from 2007. Sorry.KEF Q50 mains, M&K center, Boston Acoustics surround, Marantz SR6007 pre, Emotiva UPA-700, Pioneer DV-46AV, Samsung BD-j7500, Sunfire HRS12 subwoofer

Forget about the speakers, you don't need them! And they'll get TRASHED in any case. Order a box of Portuguese wines instead. Some are quite good!

You have this correct whgarrett, these Chinese fakes were going around on fleabay and CL and may still_ be. Always be aware of what you are buying and from whom the seller is.whgarrett1394 wrote: »Forget what I said earlier. It was the mp-150 and that thread was from 2007. Sorry. -

They are very nice speakers, but do not achieve the performance equal to their cult-like pricing since the closing of MK. However, I would not ship them overseas as there is too much risk for damage and things going wrong. You could put together a very nice 5.1 for that Anthem for the price of those speakers and shipping them to the US.

Other than their subs (the older ones) that I have heard. I've never been all that impressed with (the newer ones) their speakers. Though I forget now, there is a big vintage tower they made that is supposed to be awesome. Pretty rare from what I have read.--Gary--
