Nothing unusual appears to be going on at ARC from what I/we can tell looking at things from the outside. There are always ARC products being listed, sold, unsold on Agon and USAudiomart. The good news is that they were acquired by an experienced and successful audio equipment manufacturer, presumably saving the brand. ARC enjoys such a revered and special lineage that it's not a stretch to imagine that its customers would, if need be, help financially to ensure its future. Just my opinion as an ARC loyalist, current owner and a former dealer from 40 years ago.
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.
