It is distributed in the US and Canada by Focal Naim. It is owned by ProJect as that purchase was completed a couple years ago.
Historically MF is a high value brand as it has been produced in Taiwan (like Parasound) and has a great cost/value ratio. Quality is generally high and it typically will compete with products that are more expensive. They also bought up a boatload of NuVistor tubes and are the only company that uses them in audio applications.
There is a little history in that MF was a HUGELY popular brand that angered a lot of brick and mortar retailers as it was one of the first big brands to move on-line.
I am not certain about long terms plans of their whole line. I do know that some production has moved from Taiwan to the EU where Canor (who makes awesome amps and sources that I Import) is their OEM.
They are definitely not boutique. This biggest issue has been getting inventory as most shipments have been sold out by the time they arrive and basically it has been unavailable this year.
