Scansonic speakers anyone heard them?

Looking forward to trying to hear some here in the UK.  I'd like a slightly less clinical and warmer sound than my Facts, and also a little more BASS THUMP.

Looking forward to hearing your reports….

I heard the Scansonic MB 2.5 in Munich and loved them, actually Kunter was with me too... we were both amazed at their ability to deliver a very wide and convincing 3D soundstage (and it was a big room!). For relatively small speakers and low price point (€2,900?) these speakers really do punch above their weight. They were being played alongside some really serious Raidho offerings. Absolute bargain if you ask me.

Of course these were partnered with the excellent Aavik U-300 amplifier (and top of the range Ansuz cables) so I've no idea how good they would sound with the Devialet in a typical setup. I can't imagine they will sound bad though. They do have a bit of the Raidho house sound so they might not be for everyone.

Bass-wise I'm not sure. I just remember being amazed by their "big room" sound almost disbelieving that the sound was coming from the 2.5 and not from one of the bigger Raidho speakers on display.
