M&K Speakers out of business

CE Pro: M&K Closes Shop after 34 Years
Loudspeaker and subwoofer manufacturer M&K (Miller & Kreisel) has closed shop as of Thurs., Feb. 22, according to the company's Web site. On the site, co-founder and CEO Ken Kreisel (pictured) invites people to contact him directly regarding his decision to close the M&K factory in Chatsworth, Calif.
M&K was founded 34 years ago by Kreisel and Jonas Miller of Jonas Miller Sounds, a high-end Beverly Hills retailer where Kreisel had worked parttime.

There aren't a lot of details available at the moment on M&K's demise. According to a few sources I polled, this came as a complete surprise to many. One contact, who declined to be named, mentioned that M&K had been hit hard in recent years by counterfeiting from offshore factories, and had been spending considerable resources trying to trace the source of the counterfeit speakers and seek redress. What part those struggles played in M&K's downfall remain unknown at this time.
