The only way of finding out is to come and listen
I would if you were not too far away.
Fair enough!
I strongly suspect you'd like SBLs - but they're not especially rare (though beware there are some ropey ones around), so be patient and you'll probably find a pair comes up nearer to you before too long.
I think like you'd like them.
They are a bit old skool flat earth, share the same tweeter as the Linn Kan, which I love, in fact they are a bit like Kans with bass!
So what do they sound like? I only ever listened to the big DBL's once by accident and was impressed, so would I like SBL's?
Amp would be Nap200.
The thing is they tend to hold their value pretty much so it's worth waiting for a good pair on eBay to take a punt and get rid of if you don't like them. I got mine for £330 a couple of years ago so I could maybe make a profit but they ain't going nowhere
£330 bit of a bargain then. I saw a pair going for £895 at a dealer, not even with the correct foam grills.
