got a chuckle out of this
we should all realize there are all kinds on a forum like this, and a subject like this one, arc going through a business transition, reminds us all too well that there are folks who are experienced, knowledgeable, and just as many whom are clueless - about business, about hifi, about the business of hifi
audio research has been, is, and will continue to be one of the defining, stalwart brands in high end hifi, beloved, with owners of their products all over the world -- such a brand will not be allowed to fall into the abyss, there is simply too much brand equity
one can only hope that this group of new owners/investors will work with their chosen management to make better business decisions -- about products, product positioning, operations, dealers and representation in the usa and around the world -- to put the company on solid footing once again, and be poised continue as an industry leader going forward
