    I was reading the "MFSL CD-R's" thread, and I noticed someone mentioned the MFSL speakers as being manufactured by someone else.

    AFAIK, a reviewer compared them to Von Schweikert's saying it's quite probable the MFSL's were re-voiced VS.

    Do you think that's where the speakers come from?

    Originally I saw similarities between the MFSL speakers and Silverline Sonata MKII's but now that you mention it.

    They look a lot like the Von Schweikert's VR2's.
    VR2 on the Left, Mofi on the right.

    No doubt about it - the OML-2 MFSL speakers are probably Von Schweikert VR-2 and the OML-1 are probably VR-1's. There are just some minor differences between them.

    Good to see Albert (Von Schweikert) has gotten this contract. He makes brilliant speakers (I am a long time very happy VR-4.5 owner - great speaker) but is not the most savvy businessman.

    Has anybody here heard the MFSL's or are there any reviews out there in cyberspace yet?

    The only review I've ever seen is the one that compared them to Von Schweikert's. The reviewer had the OML-1 and the VR-1's at hand, and he said both sounded very similar, but that the OML-1 had a slight edge in transparency and soundstaging. I *think* (but am not sure) the reviewer said the drivers on both speakers were identical, and attributed most of the differences to the cabinet design and crossover topologies.

    $1K seems a fair price for the small one...
