Big changes at Audio Research (again)

[Mike]

Val Acora is out at Audio Research.

Roger Hwang takes over.

Dave Gordon is back as the lead man.

As a former Platinum Level Audio Research dealer, my take is that McIntosh set them up for failure.

I wish them the best of luck, but two bankruptcies now will not calm any buyers fears.

From a tube-lover perspective I do hope they succeed, even though they are not my favorite sound.

I do think those rock-speakers are pretty poor sounding.

Did Wang buy out Val or is he still invested?

Its never great when craft companies start charging hands. Sometimes it works but its difficult to maintain the ethos that built the products that built the company. I hope it works out and maybe reducing the investors will help.

The name may be too common I couldn't find anything about Hwang. Is he in audio do you know?
