Does anyone know with certainty that Accugroove has closed their doors? I was interested in a MiniGroove Stack but there's no response to contacts and I've emailed a couple of dealers who haven't responded either.

Is Accugroove gone?

I was trying to find that out as well.
Jay at NJ Guitar & Bass Center said he has made several attempts to contact Accugroove and has not had any luck recently.
I'm under the impression that the owner has some health issues he's dealing with and has curtailed production until further notice, but if there's someone here with more info than that, I'd be interested to know what's going on with that company.
They sure are nice cabs....

Believer or not, the least Mark can do is let his loyal and faithful customers know what the state of his business is in. If he's too sick to run his company, and wants/needs to take a break, fine... He runs the risk of ruining his business/reputation more by his lack of a statement, than by being silent...
His Facebook site shows recent posts, and lots of pictures of his hikes through nearby forests/hiking trails. That doesn't look like someone who is of ill-health to me.... Maybe he's retired, and thinks his business is being run by the CEO in charge - I don't know, but being silent regarding his business is just plain stupid to me.... he needs to let people know what's up, especially since it's been more than two weeks since these types of questions were raised....

I was thinking the same thing... I just hope Mark doesn't take 11 months to tell us what's going on....

I have had no luck either. I have been endorsed by Accugroove for many years... I hope all is well... They are truly great cabinets!

Yeah, the guy's first concern should be the opinion of random strangers who are maybe sort of considering thinking about looking into buying one of his products.
People these days have such an over inflated sense of entitlement.

AccuGroove is BACK. I don't know the whole story... their webpage doesn't talk about it... They are now an "LLC" .. maybe there is a new ownership structure? .. and now, they are loacated in Redding, CA. (They were in Santa Clara, CA) New Website: http://www.accugroovellc.com/
Wanted to revive an old thread based on a great experience with Mark Wright, Accugroove's founder, who's a super nice guy to deal with. I have a Whappo Jr. that was having an issue. Nothing like having the owner/founder work on your cab! Got it back yesterday and it sounds fantastic! Got to speak with Mark a bit. Accugroove is definitely back in business with updated drivers, cross-overs and no rat fur. Mark says you'll get the renowned AG sound but improved. Anyway, just wanted to give a plug for one of my all-time fave cab makers. Thanks for reading, DM
