Floorstanding loudspeakers — Scansonic HD MB3.5 B

The MB3.5 B is a floorstanding loudspeaker from the MB range of Scansonic HD, a Danish manufacturer whose speakers use ribbon tweeters. It occupies the middle of the MB floorstanding line.

Key specs that matter

The MB3.5 B covers 27 Hz to 40 kHz with 89 dB sensitivity. Nominal impedance is 5 ohms, and the recommended amplifier power starts above 50 W. The tower is 17.8 cm wide, 113.8 cm tall and 28.6 cm deep, and it weighs 24.5 kg.

Engineering and use context

A ribbon handles the treble in place of a conventional dome. Its slim cabinet suits rooms where a wide-baffle tower would dominate visually.

Pairing

Moderate sensitivity combined with a below-average impedance makes an amplifier with reasonable current delivery the sensible choice.

Alternatives

For a larger space, the MB5 B sits one step higher in the Scansonic HD MB series.
