What's Up with ATI?


I've been looking into 7 channel Home Theater Amps and ATI seems to have gone missing after 2008. ATI seems to have stopped development of Home Theater Processors before HDMI was forced upon us. ATI bought B&K. Any ideas as to what happened to ATI?

That leaves Emotiva renaming the Sherbourn PA7-350 as the "New" XPR-7. The Sherbourn name has been dropped.

ATI made the AT2007 a fully balanced-differential topology.

Others outsource the production of their amps to ATI. ATI as said above owns Theta Digital. The Casablanca is Theta's preamp/processor and their universal CD/DVD is the Compli Blu.
I'm not sure what your intent was in referencing Emotiva, who for all intents and purposes haven't done any better with processors having released 2 UMC's. They've failed with Sherbourn, TacT and thus far the XMC-1, now over 2 years late with no release date in sight.

I've been wondering about ATI's takewover of B&K. It looks like classicaudioparts.com is still selling ATI B stock.
There's a phone, fax and email number on their web site, which is showing a 2013 date. What kind of result did you get when you called them before going online and casting aspersions?

Levchappy, I really don't understand your goal with this post. It is trivially easy to simply call ATI before posting about them. I called ATI and got Jeff on the phone at 8:15 local time. He tells me that they're introducing a new range at CEDIA and business is better than ever. I've also noticed that Theta continues to have a lot of activity, at least at my local dealer in Berkeley.

My concerns are two-fold: 1) I publish a page dedicated to American Made Audio http://windhaming.com/american-made-audio-list/ and like to have accurate information - I have ATI listed under Theta as an active concern. and 2) I consult for a number of small manufacturers and unfounded posts that question the ongoing existence of a business are poison to a reputation.

Not going to argue with you on your larger point but I don't see Sherbourn as a failure. By most accounts, their PT-7030 seems to be a good pre-pro (if you don't want auto room correction), and until very recently, a 7-channel amp was included for the $1700 asking price. That deal is gone but the price on the pre is now $999. Price-wise and performance-wise, it seems to fill a pretty good niche.
