MBL Insolvent


I apologize if someone else has started a thread I missed, but reports indicate that MBL has initiated insolvency proceedings under German law. Not all businesses succeed- its a feature not a bug in a free enterprise system- but hopefully new investors will come in and save the company. This seems to be following the way of Audio Research (fortunately saved) and others-lots of uncertainty surrounding Dartzeel, Krell, etc, which is unfortunate. So many of these manufacturers are small businesses, obviously without huge capital reserves and sometimes without a good succession plan when the founders move on. I hope MBL successfully restructures, it makes great products. I think we all benefit from a healthy, vibrant group at the top end that has the resources to create and innovate. Good luck MBL.

Why are cars considered the more worthy product? An Audi moves people from place to place. A fine stereo system moves an orchestra into your room. 

Hope MBL gets things straightened out. They actually produce something trailblazing vs copy cat box stuffing. Hope to hear Radialstrahlers some day.

Thanks,
