Whatever happened to YBA?

As a satisfied owner of a YBA Passion integrated I was wondering if YBA even sells into the US market anymore. I rarely if ever see anything posted about them (besides the YBA Design stuff). Over time I have come to realize my Passion has some very unique design features and has been trouble free. Anyone still use YBA integrateds or seperates? Is YBA still a viable company in the EU or elsewhere?

They have been bought by their Chinese sub.
Nobody knows exactly what will happen now.

Bought by chinese?

Not necessarily; I believe and this is the opinion in France that you need to wait to see exactly what comes out of it.
It seems it is a very high class chinese outfit.

YBAs second line, Audio Refinement, was made in China. The units were very well-made, functioned well, and had very good sound.
