Audio Research equipment for sale.

Yes, It really make no sense to sell your Audio Research gear.  If it works, great.

There are many authorized Audio Research repair centers around and they have spare parts or can obtain them easily.  

Also, I don't believe that Audio Research company is going out of business.  They may change owners as they have done in the past.

I have enjoyed AR equipment for many years.  Started with a modded LS-16 by The Great Northern Sound Company (Steve Huntley- fantastic preamp that comes in handy on occasion) then a phono PH-6 that I sold.  I have a pair of mono AR amps (vm-220) that have 12 tubes per channel.  I take them out to use during the winter because it gets too warm in my California listening room during the summer months.  I just re-tubed with 6550s (4 matched quads) from AR - good timing!  I was going to list them this Summer, but now AR is no more.
