What's Up with ATI?


I've been looking into 7 channel Home Theater Amps and ATI seems to have gone missing after 2008. ATI seems to have stopped development of Home Theater Processors before HDMI was forced upon us. ATI bought B&K. Any ideas as to what happened to ATI?

That leaves Emotiva renaming the Sherbourn PA7-350 as the "New" XPR-7. The Sherbourn name has been dropped.

ATI made the AT2007 a fully balanced-differential topology.

I called ATI the other day asking them about their outdated 2-year old web page regarding B&K components. My question was to ask if they plan to do any sort of design or manufacturing of a new HDMI preamp-processor like the former B&K Reference 70.1 unit. The answer was simply, no. Sort of a bummer to hear this. Interesting and confusing as to why someone would buy the remains of a defunct company like B&K and kill it off or mothball it, or maybe just to make use of the some of the designs?, who knows. The two times I spoke with ATI, they were very nice on the phone, and seem to be very knowledgeable of course. Why leave the BK components site out there, weird.

There are still a few of us B&K owner-fans our here who still really enjoy the sound of the B&K high current dual-mono reference amps. My old Pro10 stereo preamp still works and sounds amazing too! Oh well, was hoping for some kind of updated HDMI preamp-processor to from ATI or something with a B&K faceplate look to it. Hahahah, wishful dreaming I guess, sounds like it will never happen. See ya B&K.
