Another Industry reshuffling...

ARC has been on life support for some time, no surprise there. And speakers made of stone would seem to be a very limited market, both aesthetically and functionally. I'm sure they are good for rock though.

ARC released several(6?)new products last year that appear promising. Focus should continue in the mid-tier sector of HEA. Produce a near SOTA phono preamp for < $10k and hybrid integrated for < $20k and own the mid-tier market.

I hope it works out for this venerable brand but recent years have been tough. Once these brands start moving from owner to owner, the name stays the same, but, public announcements notwithstanding, the companies rarely do. I think some explanation has been offered but I always thought it odd thatAccora Flagship speakers seem to be most often matched with VAC amps, not ARC at shows. At any rate, I hope it all works out and that there are better days ahead for ARC

Perhaps that is one of the reasons that he is no longer at ARC?

Yea, ARC sucks.  I don't think some of you on here are serious. I heard this.  I heard that.  Anyone here  commenting own ARC gear?
