Found a pair of these for what appears to be a decent price, just wondering if anyone has heard these, and what impressions you may have of them.

    Spent some time with the MBL 116f speakers at RMAF 2013. Tried my best to figure out what the MBL hoopla was all about. I never did get it. I had to get between 5-6' to get close to the sound I liked, IMHO to close, at least for my listening rooms, even the 11x12. Then the sound stage would vary between albums. Laughed when some would say it was a good room....pffft, NO IT WAS NOT
