Victor Chan Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Just read some brothers at echoloft talking about the shutting down of the M&K factory and business. They made the announcement here www.mksound.com I was kinda surprised to hear about these news as I am a loyal M&K fan and believe in their products. Anyone here knows what happened to Ken Kreisel? Maybe Jasonyeo would know something? ???
dbchoong Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I think they're closing the US Chatsworth factory but business will continue. Maybe they're moving the factory to a 3rd world country to cut down the cost.
Guest OmegaRed Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 as i wrote in echoloft, i dun knw but it looks like the web site had been hacked. i clicked on the link which report counterfiet M&K and closure of the factory, both link to Kreisel himself, the boss... If you are the boss of M&K, will you publish your email on public website? And why is the email domain @aol.com instead of @mksound.com? they have just build a new showroom in the factory in July 2006... Unless they are too rich, i dun see any reason to close the factory without valid reason....
Victor Chan Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 whatever it is, I sure hope they remain in business because M&K makes great products for the pure HT enthusiasts. And they have kept their operations small and price competitive in the US with fantastic quality control. :)
Guest OmegaRed Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 they better do becos i just ordered 3 S150C ...
Jason Yeo Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 they better do becos i just ordered 3 S150C ... Hahaha, maybe u need to find other brand if it really shut down. I also do not know what happen. It will be sad to MK fans if it indeed shut down all operations. Lucky me got spares to take care if anything happens and it do really closed(touch wood) . Lets see another couple of months how it goes.....
koma Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 ah sian....juz when i was preparing to buy...hai...
Jason Yeo Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 ah sian....juz when i was preparing to buy...hai... Still unsure what is happening , don worry since you still got time to wait ;D
SiriuslyCold Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 They've probably just moved their manufacturing somewhere more economically viable
synthesis1624705793 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 They've probably just moved their manufacturing somewhere more economically viable Then they got counterfeited... ;D
Guest OmegaRed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 latest updates... cd acoustic the current dealer for M&K also aware of the situation... i have requested for refund for my M&K liao. seems like it is true... sad.
dbchoong Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Why did you request a refund? They can't deliver - no more shipments from M&K?
Guest OmegaRed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Why did you request a refund? They can't deliver - no more shipments from M&K? partially yes. and i dun not have the confident in them anymore.

muscular27 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Looks like M&K filed for bankruptcy and company is really closed. Check the stereophile link. http://www.stereophile.com/news/030507kreisel/
