About the financial strength of audio manufacturer

I wonder if the pandemic  has been positive or negative for the audio industry .

Manufacturer are private companies . It is not possible to analyse their financial  statements before buying their products.

What worth the 5 or 10 years warranty if they go out of business.

I have a sent my home theater processor for repair at the manufacturer office , several months ago. When I contact theme to add some precision about the unit issues, they either are very rude with the communication , or tell me my unit is about to be shipped , without doing so.

 

I wonder if they have too much works because of the Covid or if they are on the verge of bankrupcy

In the lasted situation , there is nothing the product's owners can do about their warranty.

Two dealers ( one is also a friend of mine ) that carry my manufacture ´s products were not positive .

I know is a weird thread
Reassure me , I am getting anxious

I understand your concern. Having repaired audio gear for a long time now, most everything can be repaired even without the schematic as long as the values are not removed from the parts. Even then, we have been able to use our design knowledge to get the component working again.

 

Happy Listening.

@maxwave - anything can be repaired it depends on if it it worth it.  Most of those are sufrace mount resisotrs so parts can be an issue as you cannot always find the proper size and it is time comsuming.  I would imagine that if it breaks 5 years later, you are probbaly better off buying a new one if the technology has moved on for those types of units.
