Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?

@helomech 

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the largest Pass Labs dealership in the country recently shut down.

Actually the dealership to which you refer did NOT shut down. He announced that he would be winding down operations and retire from the business in early 2024.

I heard mcintosh bought audio research

Same diff. The days are numbered for all these companies unless the old timers are made immortal.

Companies like B&O and B&W might survive a little longer because they are at least attempting to adapt.

Let's hope this is true.  Would give Mc an upper hand owning both, new options, when you see posts of Mc vs. ARC dating way way back, c/b great for their fans and consumers. Please sure more if you find out more, if you can. 

I just read some notes where ARC was looking for someone to invest capital to keep them afloat and out of default with the local MN bank. Deadline was not met, apparently.  Hopefully people generally understand its been weird times coming in/out of the pandemic, some parts supply has been limited, trying to get back on their feet. Maybe they could put some lines on hold, while keeping others afloat until there is some path forward.  Will keep an eye out, keeping fingers crossed for them. ARC has always been a staple platform for many of many of my audio friends.

That happened years ago (2014) when the Mcintosh group acquired Audio Research.  Then Mcintosh sold ARC in 2020.  Mcintosh was sold itself in the past year or two.    Thats what GOOGLE is for!!
