Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?

I just heard Audio Research might be filing for bankruptcy. This is a shock to me. I just called them a few days ago to have my Ref 6 upgraded to a Ref 6SE. I will also be the new owner of the Ref 750s. I was just wondering if they did go bankrupt what would all those millions of owners do about servicing their equipment. Should I be concerned? I’m alittle worried now.

DO NOT SEND ANYTHING IN FOR REPAIR OR UPGRADE UNTIL THIS GETS RESOLVED!!! 

I’ve lost several pieces through the years to this exact cause...

Wise counsel from you and @onhwy61

Shows how little I know. I’d assumed given Audio Reseach’s pedigree and long standing high end tenure they’d be on very solid ground financially.

I've owned AudioResearch phonostage... Notably their equipment runs extremely HOT and may need service from time to time and even more often then that. Thankfully it isn't very sophisticated so the local tech can troubleshoot  and repair it.
