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.

Plus, IIRC, my SP10 had a damn good phono stage. 😉  Ref 10 does not.

IMHO, ARC gear went through the roof, price wise.

I've never owned ARC, but watching it through the years, one thing I was not a fan of was all the continuous streams of incremental product improvements.

The latest and greatness never seemed to be the latest and greatest for very long. Guess they have to keep customers returning to the well...

Better get service manuals and schematics just in case, you never know.

@elrod  I know exactly what u mean. My first ARC was a used Ref 5se. Loved it a lot until I heard the Ref 6  in my system. I loved it and sold the 5 Se and bought the 6 brand new. Now I’m gonna up grade it to the 6SE. As I heard a lot of better things with it. I will be upgrading it sound unheard though.
