Audio Research Financial Troubles

There has been no actually new product from ARC since Ward Fiebiger passed away in 2017. He, essentially alone, designed all the ARC audio  circuits since 2005. Trent Suggs purchased a company that was already compromised from a design talent standpoint. How difficult would it be to use the Reff 6SE as the basis for a Ref 10 (based on Ref 5SE) replacement?  Why has the 320M gestation been so difficult? Financial capital is essential to business, but it is meaningless without human capital to put it to use. ARC has another 6-8 months to develop momentum on all relevant fronts before the new owners come to an unpleasant crossroads, 

Most recent post on FB was quite positive and encouraging. The introduction of the 320M seems near completion while acknowledging long development beyond norm. In the wake of reorganization with new owners new equipment goes a long way toward establishing confidence in the company’s momentum going forward. I believe the 320M will be very good for the entire ARC product line sales.
