Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?

I just read some notes where ARC was looking for someone to invest capital to keep them afloat and out of default with the local MN bank.

The filings suggest that the major creditor has waived claims against ARC and that its claims are confined to Trent Suggs and a private company (not ARC) that he owns.

@cleeds thanks for the updates, correction, and details.  It will be interesting to see if there is a way for some entity to step up and help carry this forward and not let ARC products get lost.

My only interest here is simply seeing American made home audio room products survive and stick around a while longer vs the new-era of iPhones and headphones. The next gen needs to experience this like we did.  Hope they can.

Same here. I wish ARC and all who work there the best. I'd feel that way if I didn't own ARC gear.

Seems that private equity has not hurt McIntosh Group at all:  

 McIntosh Group has been acquired by Highlander Partners, a Dallas-based private investment firm that manages over $2 billion in assets.
