MBL Lives!

I have a different take. The idea of active speakers is VERY promising to me - precise matching of amps with drivers, far shorter signal path, theoretically less cost due to fewer components and cables, etc...

On the DSP thing, I would welcome it with open arms IF it would improve the overall sound of the system in my room.

Now, getting a tube amp inside a speaker could be a bit of challenge...

I respect your thoughts. I'm talking about market realities of people spending that kind of money.
 
I hear you. Maybe it's a small niche, but I want to believe that there are at least a few high end customers who are interested in the concept.

If not, it wouldn't be the first time that I found myself out of touch with reality...

Yes. I met with several of the new key people at Axpona and we’ve had constant contact ever since. You do realize a company is more than one person, right? There are several other bright young engineers at MBL. In fact, I chatted with one this morning and discussed their excitement regarding the new products they launched at Vienna. We chatted about technical stuff relating to the new Xtreme’s and Noble streamer. We deal with senior leadership and the great folks in the back office (accounting and shipping) every day.

Maybe my wrong interpretation but you seem a bit testy on the subject. To be clear I am on team MBL. With that being said I'd like to push back with a couple items. Hot shots at MBL should have introduced the new products to the press if any visited as no mention of new products I was able to find. I fully believe what you said. In your remarks regarding ARC they as well brought in new capable engineering, after the Acora purchase. I suspect the new owners of MBL have deep pockets which gives MBL a big positive.

I suppose it's debatable based on one's bias how well Dynaudio has done after their similar purchase. From what I see they are thriving pretty well.

We'll have to watch to see how it all plays out.

What you may wish to know is that the new leadership will not be embarking on the same activities as the prior team.

They did announce the new products at Vienna.

Maybe some haven’t reported it yet?
