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.

Looks like time for the Chinese Investment group to swoop in.

Wouldn't be surprised if the boards are stuffed in Asia, then shipped back to USA for assembly.

Speaking from many, many years of experience in the high-end audio business:

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...
