Audiophile Junkie - Installation of MBL 101e - Part 1

[@uncola6028]

great video, you don't get to see MBL speakers set up by real people much. your videos are a nice contribution to the hobby :)

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Thanks for the feedback...more to come with other great speakers soon

[@pf5658]

This guy is one lucky bastard. 😂 I’ve heard these in person and they were a pure joy to listen to.

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Yeah... He definitely worked hard for his money and, unfortunately, he works so much that the room gets used less than he would like... Retirement should be fun though for him.

[@johnnyyip5679]

Hey Jason, That’s a nicely done video 😎

[@tivanov5]

Sold same speakers few days ago :)) Can you show pictures how do you connected the speakers behind ? Did you used jumpers or bi-wiring cable ?

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Jumpers... From Townshend who made the speaker cables too

[@tivanov5]

@@AudiophileJunkie Thank you

[@CanadaSocial]

Great video

[@rigorhead01]

Great packing

[@dexterwhite9277]

Woozers!!

[@anthonymaerin4052]

Would be a great idea to use a trolly take the risk out of damaging the speaker it even had me worrying about damaging them

[@rgriffith6476]

😱😰 Yall sure do have a lot of faith in those little suction cups! @6:08

[@AudiophileJunkie]

They don't anymore

[@patrickdemasco1315]

Why didn't they uncrate in the listening room? Could the crates not fit through a doorway?

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Too large and heavy to move up 3 floors

[@joemehalic4069]

@@AudiophileJunkie Have them ride the elevator one at a time. I think they way 175 pounds a piece, but then there is the crate. It should have worked and been much safer. Either way, buy a dolly/roller cart and throw away those suction cups. LOL!

[@davidbee8178]

@@joemehalic4069 yeah! NO kidding !!! all wrong ! AND silly too in a way . . . they toe them in ? ! LOL they are OMNIDIRECTIONAL ! LOL Plus they should have done all the installation of the panels with the speakers either out of the way or at least COVERED to avoid accidental damage ! Amateur hour! LOL

[@francisdelacruz6439]

Where is the foliage? Practically every MBL show has these behind the speakers, hehe.

[@JimmyG91]

I would be shit scared to carry the speakers with thoose suction cups on the protective film! Would rather carry thrm underneth with four hands

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Yeah... You saw first hand the risk.

[@JimmyG91]

@@AudiophileJunkie yepp i was to quick to comment. Saw the used one hand on the 2nd speaker

[@khaledakbar2125]

The video audio room isn't big enough

[@davidbee8178]

GOTTA get rid of those suction cups . . . they are an accident just waiting to happen ! Get some expert advice on installation and moving from MBL, I suggest !!!

[@jeffreymastroleo6675]

What type of racks are those?

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Ultrasonic racks

[@sztruharrobert]

Hey , Lampizator is great 🎶🎼 I have Dac.. 🎹👍

[@AudiophileJunkie]

Lampizator DACs are killer...FYI...3mA has a used Lampizator Superkomputer for sale if you want a matching server

[@gges1605]

My understanding of directional speaker cable is the individual atoms line up in a specific way. They will work regardless of which direction they are fitted but the sound will be different if they are connected the wrong way. That's the theory my ears can't hear it but that's maybe more a reflection of my ears rather than the cable

[@rgriffith6476]

Okay I cant help it. What does a pair of these things cost?

[@AudiophileJunkie]

You don't want to know

[@BastiFFM84]

In Germany they are around 56k € a pair

[@joemehalic4069]

Pre-covid/inflation they were ONLY $70,500, but as of around June of 2022, they are up to a mere $84,500!

[@FOH3663]

Until I saw the scattering treatment panels, I was beside myself thinking all this sweet gear, and nothing addressing the most important component, the room. Typical. Essentially the entire front surface should be treated.

[@AudiophileJunkie]

MBL's don't really need the traditional treatments. You might get some comb filtering, but the omni dispersion doesn't impact direct on axis the same. His room actually measured phenomenal. Plus, you must've missed the part about the acoustic curtains he has as well.

[@Gypsyman40]

I would have never trusted those suction handles... Smh

[@mr.dynamite2543]

I squirmed in my chair the whole time.

[@scalamasterelectros3204]

I alredy was thinking these are blm speakers 🤨
