Who bought ARC?
The sale price was never confirmed - it is a rumor. 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
If I may add sth to this interesting discussion - I have owned Avalon Eidolon Vision, now own Wilson Audio speakers, and I do not consider them hi-fi sounding. Quite on the contrary. IMO both are capable of stunning results, but require careful sy... 
Who bought ARC?
From my insider info, ARC is one of the selected few companies who do not have to worry about their future. Their latest range of products - CD-3, 7, Ref-3, LS-26 - has been hugely succesful (Ref-3 is the time best selling model in ARC 40+ years h...
