These B-One speakers can be categorised as entry level and magnetically shielded speakers with a bookshelf design that are 2-way ported. The ports in the front are oval shaped and the post terminals also appear to be of high quality. The finishing of the cabinets is also quite smooth. In short these are bookshelf speakers from MB Quart which have an impressive look.

The drivers used appear to be of very good quality. About 1-inch titanium single dome tweeter blended and surrounded with a metal heat sink is combined with neodymium magnet. To control the mid-bass and midrange aspects, a poly propylene cone mid-bass woofer of about 6 ½ inches has been provided. The manufacturers are known for making car audio speakers, like the MB Quart QSD 216, and it seems their expertise in powerful and deep bass has indeed paid off with these bookshelf speakers. Furthermore, you can use a 12-gauge wire for speaker connections which are rear mounted and consist of pairs of banana connectors and 5-way binding posts. However, it is recommended you take the advice of your dealer for the pairing of high end cables.

As the quality of the drivers is superior, the sound output is also superb. Even at levels which were quite loud there was no disturbance or distortions in the metal dome tweeters, because of the fact that it was combined with the neodymium magnet. The mid bass was also full of clarity and the sound is quite refreshing. The imaging was very accurate and precise as well. It appears that whether handling high or low frequency, these speakers can handle sound quality with grace.

MB Quart, who are one of the pioneers in car audio, have done an appreciable job in bringing out these smart looking B-One bookshelf speakers.
