I am the largest Running Springs dealer in North America and can assure everyone that they are not going out of business. I have very recently delivered 4 units (in the last 30 days), shipped from the factory. I also have one of the new flagship Nicolai units here and it is awesome.
RTI (the capacitor business and parent company of RSA) was purchased by ATI Technologies (a large US based technology and manufacturing company). ATI has maven capacitor and RSA manufacturing to Pensilvania and appears to be very committed to delivering units and expanding the range.
I have sold Audience and RSA side by side and can tell you that there is no comparison. A less expensive RSA will outperform a more expensive Audience but I will leave the final verdict on that to anyone interested making a comparison.
Incidentally, RTI supplies caps to most of the major high-end companies (Focal, Wilson, Avalon, Aesthetix, and many others are on that) so is they and RSA were to go away, it would create and amazing void in the industry as a whole.
