Up for sale is this pair of original AR3 acoustic speakers. I had these tested, reviewed, and cleaned by a technician at Lynn’s Audio and Video in Logan, Utah. He reported that the sound is excellent but that it becomes distorted at higher volume. He felt that the distortion was a function of his receiving equipment rather than the speakers themselves. Such speakers, he said, are best tested with the audiophile equipment meant specifically for them and that with such equipment there most likely would be no distortion. He said the speakers are still originally sealed. He did not unseal them. He did a general cleaning of the speakers. The photos are considered part of the description. The cabinets has scratches, dings, and gouges as shown in the photos. They have not been touched up, refinished or repaired in any way. You can see rust on the interior as shown in the photos. Because of the value, age, and condition of these speakers, I highly encourage you to ask lots of questions. I’m happy to send additional closeup photos of anywhere on the speakers so that you know exactly what you are purchasing. Each speaker weighs about 52 pounds.
