Since Maxxsonics took over MBQ, Illusion isnt gonna be around for awhile. Possibly opening back up in Early '06. After my depressing talk with Jeff this was the news I was given.

What!?!?

So, they close their doors in '01-'02. Start up production again in '05, and before the product even starts rolling out the door, they close up shop again?

Do they just need a distributor or what? Shit, have them ship it all to my house. I'll distribute for them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

From what i hear their setup at MBQ in Germany....production is the prob, not distribution...MBQ itself affected

I thought they were just going to be distributed through MBQ?

Illusion was supposed to be the US distributor for MBQ. Until Maxxsonics bought MBQ and their facilities. It was quite to my surprise when I called Jeff today and got "Hello Maxxsonics" I was like uhhh..Jeff please? Then when she figured out who I was speaking about she gave me the other number to use.

Production is hurting due to flooding at the main plant, waiting for insurance money to cover damages... Distribution was never a problem though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
