Audio Research Financial Troubles

Was wondering if anyone had noticed that there seems to be a lot of ARC for sale on this site (62 right now) and on eBay there is 268 listings for ARC. Is this in response to the rumor of ARC having financial troubles and people are worried they may go under. Does anyone have an update on this or other info or am I being paranoid? And has the demand for ARC equipment gone down due to this? It appears that the ARC stuff is not selling. Your thoughts.Thanks.

The company looks relatively stable after being acquired by new owners. https://www.cepro.com/audio-video/audio-research-acquired-by-ar-tube-audio-corporation/

Audio Research’s problems are long over. Nothing to do with the viability of the business, but of a highly leveraged buy out by a great guy with the best intentions and a change in the interest rates. If there is some components available on-line, I would snap them up. Audio Research is going no where and they makes some of the very best components in their price range available. I know, I own quite a few of them.
