Historically, Audio Research introduced 3 or 4 products a year when it was under different management. Now our new team is pleased to announce 6 new products to celebrate 55 years of legendary engineering and design. The new products all feed into one essential concept: Provide a full brand landscape outside of our Reference range. Significant investment has been made in the largest and best engineering team in our history, R&D, and materials to realize these results.

While we currently offer products below Reference, there is only one offering in each product category. For years, the notion of a $20K amp/preamp stack from ARC has been out of the question. We will restore that here. Through a combination of tube and solid-state models, and by hitting prices at and below $10,000 each, Audio Research offers clients comprehensive choice. The next chapter of Audio Research is here.
