See the link below, 3 MB2S-A speakers are for sale, but AFAIK active MB2 is not truly active, it just has Bryston power pac bolted to it, there is still passive cross-over in the speaker, so what is the story with those 10Bs?

Cool 8) looks like a fully active setup to me.  Maybe a custom PMC build??

looks like an active set up but with wimpy er i mean digital amps... might as well buy new ones for the price he's asking though...

remember that the amps used with the MB2-S-A are digital amps (875HT?) while the MB2-XBD-A uses the real erm i mean the bigger bryston amps...

The Bryston 875's are digital amps?

my mistake then! 

When i say digital, i really meant 'class D' though... James, are the 875 (HT or Z) amps class D or some type of 2B/3B-SST variation?

The 875 is esstentially 8 channels of a 2B SST in one chassis.  They offer 75 watts at 8 ohms or any 2 channels can be bridged to 250 Watts.

The part I'd want out of that is two speakers and affiliated cross overs minus the amps.... i doubt that would be of any interest to you.
