For sale is an Acoustic Research AR-3 Vintage Stereo Speakers. Serial number c – 0864. Acoustic Research AR-3 Speaker Review. No loudspeaker by Acoustic Research has been more influential than the original Acoustic Research AR-3 acoustic suspension speaker. The AR-1 had set a new benchmark for loudspeaker technology, but the AR-3 was so outstandingly accurate that experts had trouble identifying whether a recording or a live concert was playing in front of them. History of the AR-3. The AR-3 entered the market in 1958 , 4 years after the first ever acoustic suspension loudspeaker , the AR-1 was introduced. Acoustic Research had by then tested a new tweeter design, developed by Villchur, called the hemispherical dome direct radiator tweeter, which was used in the new AR-3 models. The result was a speaker that produced music more accurately than any other speaker at its time and until today is one of the highest performing speakers available when measuring accuracy. This outstanding accuracy made the AR-3 speaker famous, and its reputation for being the “most accurate loudspeaker at any cost” led to its usage in many professional settings, such as concert halls or record studios.
