ATI.....Going out of business???? - 11/11/07 07:41 PM

Hi!
It's no secret that ATI manufactures amps for Outlaw (of course to Outlaw specs). I was recently on the ATI website and noticed that their "Dealer List" is gone now. Anyone know what is going on?...is ATI now only building amps on an OEM basis? Both ATI and Outlaw offer wonderful products. It would be a shame is ATI stopped selling the ATI brand. Just wondering...
Thank you

Interesting question - I hadn't heard anything about ATI scaling back their "house brand," but then again I don't keep a particularly close eye on them. They may be simply making a site change or shuffling around their dealer network a bit.

Hi Gonk,
I spoke to Mike @ ATI this morning. What a great guy. He has 100% praise for BOTH Outlaw and ATI products (as he should). If you spend 30 minutes talking with him, you'll quickly realize just how incredible the ATI and Outlaw amps truley are. ANYONE that doesn't take a serious listen to either of these companies products is just wasting their money. In fact, ATI uses many of the same components as Krell and other super high end amp companies.
No worries about ATI products going anywhere. In fact, ATI recently aquired another "high-end" amp company which will be announced soon (he told me who, but I promised not to tell.. :-)) He did tell me that many of the small independent dealers are just struggling to survive.

When I last visited their site the dealer list was still there. I think that is impossible to happen. Maybe they are only doing update on their site.

Over three years later, and ATI's still ticking - I've heard they even bought up what was left of B&K recently.
