MBL Insolvent

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,

I've never heard an MBL product. I've never been to an audio show and non of the dealers near me were/are MBL dealers. I believe most any company can justify its prices however, knowing whether or not your audience will keep you from drowning is indispensable. I suppose MBL didn't reach a large enough customer base and the people who have purchased MBL products, just stopped buying them. But the only ultra high end products that leave me scratching my head, where ultra high prices are concerned, are the digital components like DAC's and Streamers. I can't see why anyone would spend $100,00.00 on a DAC knowing that it could become antiquated ten years from now.

I don’t believe for a minute that the market for such products is limited. There are millions of people world wide with the means to buy ultra high end hifi. Wilson is very successful although they do have more affordable products. I’d bet Magico can’t build enough M9 speakers. There is a market for $25,000.00 speaker wire and interconnects. And on and on. 

Maybe the employees at MBL decided to take a vow of poverty for religious reasons?

BTW MBL is not just a speaker company. It makes a very extensive line of electronics too.
