It seems that either Audio Art is back in business, in Mexico. Or, someone bought the name and is now using it. Or maybe someone else has the real answer.

I think all of those prices are in Pesos so the $2495 for a 6.5" Reference component set is only like $201 American.
Pesos were trading at 12pesos = $1 yesterday

Looks like crap to me. I love old school audio Art and if this is well made gear then I'm very interested in checking it out. But Mexico? Do you really expect top shelf gear from Mexico? hmm... I'll stay objective and see what comes of this.

I had always thought that the name, as well as how it was written or stylized, were all part of the copyright or trademark of the company/owner. Either way, I really doubt they are even close to the original.
I emailed the company asking for some history and company info. If anything is net back to me, I'll be sure to post it here as well.
I didn't know they were ever made in the US. I remember the print ads from back in the day...I always thought they were some cheaper line.
Cheaper? No way! Hand soldered boards, they took pride in their work like alot of other small companies who were forced to close their doors when the big stores started mass selling Chinese crap!
I still run a quad of these amps in my daily/comp truck!

I've e-mailed them 3 times now....maybe one of our members fluent in Spanish could send an e-mail, asking for some company history and background. Maybe you'll get a response.

NO way....those amps were sweet .
Just as good as anything from Soundstream, PPI, Orion, Phoenix Gold.....and Made in the USA.
I remember working at a restaurant back in 1996 and one of the guys I worked with surprisingly had one of the larger A series amps....I wanted it but he wouldn't sell it.
He got it from a friend for dirt cheap any neither of them knew it was such a high quality amp due to the fact that the original owner was a tool bag and didn't know how to install an amp.....he though it sucked and sold it to his friend for a few bucks.
