Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?

@jbl-4345 I heard mcintosh bought audio research 

Let's hope this is true.  Would give Mc an upper hand owning both, new options, when you see posts of Mc vs. ARC dating way way back, c/b great for their fans and consumers. Please sure more if you find out more, if you can. 

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. Deadline was not met, apparently.  Hopefully people generally understand its been weird times coming in/out of the pandemic, some parts supply has been limited, trying to get back on their feet. Maybe they could put some lines on hold, while keeping others afloat until there is some path forward.  Will keep an eye out, keeping fingers crossed for them. ARC has always been a staple platform for many of many of my audio friends.

@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.
