  • Page 5: M&K's Design Philosophy

    As an audiophile recording engineer and a high-end loudspeaker designer, my strong belief has always been that a good loud- speaker should accurately and realistically reproduce whatever the microphone captured, whether the source is a human voice, a musical instrument, an explosion, car crash, etc; including the acoustical ambiance of the environment in which the source was recorded.
