"Wolfgang Meletzky, the man who founded MBL, has returned to the market with a new company … Music Culture Technology, [which] brings German-made electronics and loudspeakers to moderate prices. I heard an absolutely fabulous-sounding system that included the MC 701 integrated amplifier ($4495), MC 501 CD player ($2995), and RL21 stand-mounted speaker ($2995 a pair). These prices are a fraction of what [his previous] gear cost, but the products' look, feel and sound were decidedly upscale".
