So here's the deal, in 1995 I got my first set of MB Quart speakers, and I
was blown away.  I loved the range of the vocals, the hard hitting bass, but
then the company fell on difficult times and was sold, this is the usually
the death knell of most companies.  Most of the time when a  Premier company
changes hands, the spirit of the product becomes diluted as the new owners try
to pinch the 'soul' (read this as whatever made the products really great)
and make a few bucks.  Sometimes they cut corners on the manufacturing, or
use cheaper materials, while riding the products name and making some bucks
on the deal. Fortunately Maxxsonics (you know the manufactures of Hifonics,
Autotek and Crunch), the newest owners of MB Quart don't think that way.
Maxxsonics announced when they bought MB Quart in 2005 that they would help
the company regain its once-revered position and let the German engineers
and designers do what they do best.

I, like so many others in the industry, was a little skeptical when I heard
about the acquisition by Maxxsonics, so I was excited when I got the chance
to review a set of MB Quart’s 'Mid Level' speakers, the Discus DKH 116.
The main question was could they keep the 'soul' in the brand?

Everything from the packaging to the fit and function of the product is the MB Quart
quality I remember from 1995, but better.  These 'Mid Level' speakers
were very nice, but you must read on to see just how nice and the exceptional job
Maxxsonics has done in keeping the MB Quart 'soul' in the brand!
