MBL - Jürgen Reis and Jeremy Bryan Gone

Terrible news and not sure what the future may hold for MBL, but Jürgen Reis and Jeremy Bryan leaving can't be good signs for the brand.

I'm not sure what's going on, but guessing it's possible the new owners may be shifting production to China?

I was glad the company found a source of capital to continue because their products are important and interesting. Butt I am also aware that when a company gets into financial trouble - something has to change. More money alone doesn’t fix anything.

Midrange everything must be done by hand , if made in China I would expect prices to drop by 3x anything more then that not any would’ve interested. I owned their dac and great Submarine type hatch for the transport , truly top notch quality and speakers sound great when setup properly .
