MBL 101E MKii Floorstanding Loudspeakers I am prepared to sell the MBL components separately but will only sell them individually if I have a buyer for each item. Plenty of info on the web for these speakers I am the second owner Will include, Owners Manual All the factory accessories I have IsoAcoustics GAIA Isolation Feet thread Adapters (x8) Condition: Very Good Payment Method: EFT, Cash Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By Eggmeister 7 Comments AUD $37,000 Date: December 31, 2025Dec 31
MBL’s radial omnidirectional design is the whole appeal here: it throws a big, room-filling soundstage with real scale, image stability, and unusually natural spatial cues when set up well. At A$37,000, this looks like a solid buy rather than a bargain-basement score, but it is still a touch under the rough used range of about A$40,000–A$50,000 for good examples, so the pricing is fair-to-strong.
What makes it worthwhile is the sheer level of performance and rarity at this level: these are statement speakers that can disappear sonically in a way few rivals manage, especially with the right amp and room. A very good-condition pair is exactly what you want with MBL, since original crates, spikes, and careful handling matter for resale and transport. If those boxes are intact and the drivers are healthy, this is an easy one to take seriously.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
MBL stands as a German high-end audio manufacturer founded in 1979 by three engineers—Meletzky, Beinecke, and Lehnhardt—whose initials form the company name. The brand emerged from Berlin with a singular vision: to create loudspeakers that distribute sound omnidirectionally in a 360-degree pattern, a radical departure from conventional speaker design. This breakthrough technology, called the Radialstrahler (radial emitter), debuted at the 1979 IFA Berlin trade fair and immediately captured the audio world's attention with its distinctive "rocket" shape and room-filling acoustic performance.
MBL's product portfolio centers on high-end loudspeakers and premium audio electronics, with the company maintaining complete in-house manufacturing of all components and speakers near Berlin. The brand has built its reputation on precision engineering combined with handcrafted assembly, ensuring meticulous quality control across its lineup. While loudspeakers remain the cornerstone of MBL's identity, the company has expanded into complementary electronics to serve discerning audiophiles seeking integrated solutions.
Positioned firmly in the luxury high-end segment, MBL commands respect among serious collectors and enthusiasts willing to invest substantially in audio excellence. The brand's nearly five-decade heritage, German manufacturing credentials, and pioneering omnidirectional speaker technology have established MBL as a globally recognized leader in high-fidelity audio. The company's commitment to in-house production and its role in shaping the modern high-end audio industry underscore its status as a premium, innovation-driven manufacturer rather than a mass-market player.
