Default What does the term "MK" mean in relation to hi-hi gear?

Tony, I'm just going to think it's number 2. it certainly will make reading
Audio Advisor much more interesting to think that!

Okay Nick, I've narrowed this down to three possible orgins:

1) Monster Kill. It's a way of killing monsters in Unreal Tournament.

2) Mary-Kate Olsen.

3) Mark (designation). Mark can be used to indicate series or model

number
of a production line. Because a mark is often made to measure height or
progress, by metonymy the word mark is used to mean a level of

development,
and level designations like "Mark I", "Mark II" etc. come to be used as
proper names. Examples include the Lincoln Continental Marks Series,

various
Mark 1and Mark I computers. MK sometimes abbreviates such nominal uses of
Mark. (taken from Wikipedia)

My bet is number 3...but I'm much more intersted in number 2!!

Tony
