VERY NICE PAIR OF THE ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR3-AR3A SPEAKERS. THE REASON I’M USING BOTH 3 AND 3A NAMES IS THAT ON THE LABELS OF THESE SPEAKERS, IT INDICATES THAT BOTH WERE AR3 SPEAKERS ORIGINALLY, AND THEN UPGRADED TO THE AR3A VERSION SOME TIME LATER. SO BOTH HAVE THE AR3A DRIVERS IN THEM, AND ALL DRIVERS ARE WORKING BEAUTIFULLY. THE TWEETERS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED FURTHER. THE TWEETERS THAT WERE IN THESE HAD LOW OUTPUTS SO I UPGRADED THEM WITH NEW VOICE COILS. THE SOUND OF THESE IS VERY SIMILIAR TO THAT IN THE AR11 SPEAKERS. TO ME, ITS A MUCH MORE BALANCED SOUND… THE CABS ARE VERY NICE, GRILLS VERY NICE BADGES LIKE NEW. SERIAL #’S 31007 AND 30902. THE POTS WERE SPRAYED WITH DEOXIT AND IF THAT DIDNT WORK, THEN WERE BYPASSED. THE CAPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH QUALITY REPLACEMENTS. THE WOOFERS HAVE NEW SURROUNDS WITH THE CORRECT WIDE ROLL DIMENSION. ALSO INCLUDED IS SOME INTERESTING READING ABOUT THE AR3A SPEAKERS. AS A BONUS IM INCLUDING THE AR RECOMMENDED FUSE PROTECTION KIT FOR THESE AR3A SPEAKERS. USE IT IF YOU PLAY HEAVY ROCK MUSIC OR THE LIKE. THEY INCLUDE THE FUSE RECOMMENDED IN THE INCLUDED AR LITERATURE. THEN YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF HOW NICE THEY LOOK, AND HOW GREAT THEY SOUND. THESE ARE EXCELLENT SOUNDING, VERY NICE LOOKING SPEAKERS.
