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.

@czarivey You nailed it.  Luxury items are a leading indicator.  I wonder how many people cut back on their Star Bucks purchases or is it what the hell do I care this is my treat to myself.

@cleeds You nailed it as well with "so I'm actually considering buying a new Ref 6SE, in part because I believe it will be serviceable regardless of ARC's future".

And yes I have a bunch of ARC gear, the latest of which is a REF6 earlier this year bought used.
