A conglomerate will buy them and keep the brand. No worries.
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.

@onhwy61 Why do u say that about not sending in for an upgrade until this gets sorted out ? I already made the appointment and got my RA number. What do u think would could happen? |
If they had sold millions, then they would not be in this position IMHO as a 50 year hi-end audio junkie: this is just the tip of the iceberg, especially for uber expensive kit. Renting an apartment (or buying) in many popular cites is so out of reach for the 99% that even IF they were predisposed to hi-end kit, they cannot afford it: an 700 sft efficiency near downtown Ft Lauderdale is $1700-$3000/mo! And then cars are absurdly priced as is car insurance, etc, etc Combine those issues with significantly better kit (compared to days of old) at <1/10 the price of the uber expensive kit and... well...
