If you haven't heard, I was told they went out of business. Very sad as I like their speakers and put the S150 system in my families house many years ago.

edit:

Apparently this is old news, but it was new to me.

I think that there was a thread about that at the time, but it's been a few months. It is a shame...

Retep,

Everything at M&K's Los Angeles factory was sold off a couple of weeks ago by a receiver. However, there is info that two folks that were involved with M&K in Europe have purchased the company and may make a run at restarting it. I'll believe it when it happens.

I would caution anyone looking for M&K speakers to make sure they know what is being offered for sale. For example, eBay has three LCR750s for sale that are clearly not consumer products. They don't have serial numbers or any model information. One even said "Made in China" which I understand was one of their issues; counterfeit M&K speakers or ones made in China that did not meet M&K specs.

I'll enjoy my current M&K setup while it lasts (hopefully for a long time) and keep my eye on creative speaker companies (Outlaw, Ascend, etc) should I need to replace something.

Looks like M&K are back. I dropped them an email, but didn't hear back.

The revived M&K appears to be struggling and has little or no presence in the U.S. yet. I see the web site only has photos from the far east. There is a pretty good running dialog over at AVS on whether the new owners will be successful or not. I have my doubts, but still hope they are able to deliver the M&K quality many enjoy. A couple of AVS members have ordered speakers however they have yet to receive them and delivery has been delayed a few times. Only time will tell if M&K will make it and what kind of product they deliver. Let us know if they respond to your email; the info should provide further insight into the new company.

Follow up. The first AVS member received his new M&Ks today. They guy lives in Sweden. He is to post pictures and his impressions of the new M&Ks.

AvFan,
Keep us in the loop about M&K.
on the web .... no mention of seperate subs...mmm....

That site is NOT the real M&K. Those seem to be the rip off speakers that drove the real M&K out of business.

According to this article, that I've posted before in another thread, the true M&K designers have moved to the site listed in the article. That site, however, still does not seem to be active. Here's the link:

Ouch! It does look like they're the imitators. I wonder what THX thinks about having the speakers listed as being THX certified...

I may have misspoken about the site being a ripoff. It seems from the photos on the site that the people mentioned in the Mix article are the same people they show in their pictures. I would be interested to see if AVfan gets a reply to his email.

The site, however, does still give me a weird feeling. It seems to lack any technical details that would be representative of a company whose history is based in the professional audio world. It also seems to be only interested in broadcasting that M&K, the originals, are used in studios. It doesn't even attempt to link to any consumer oriented reviews that exist on the products they are presenting. Weird...
