GREAT PAIR OF AR3A SPEAKERS. EACH ONE IS WORKING PERFECTLY. THEY LOOK AWESOME, AND APPEAR TO BE WELL MAINTAINED OVER THEIR 50 SOME YEAR HISTORY. GOT THESE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER MAYBE ONE YEAR AGO. THEY WERE DISPLAYED HORIZONTALLY IN A BEAUTIFUL WALL UNIT WITH SOME EXCELLENT AUDIO EQUIPMENT DRIVING THEM. WALNUT CABINETS IN GOOD CONDITION. NOT MINT, AS THERE ARE A FEW MINOR BLEMS, BUT OVERALL VERY NICE CONDITION. ALL 6 DRIVERS LOOK, AND WORK VERY WELL. WOOFERS HAVE NEW SURROUNDS. CAPS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW. ALL 4 POTS HAVE EITHER BEEN BYPASSED (easily put back to original if you decide to get new pots)OR IF THEY WORKED AFTER SPRAYING WITH DEOXIT5 THEN THEY WERE LEFT AS ORIGINAL. GRILLS ARE STRONG AND LOOK VERY NICE. AR3A BADGES LOOK AS NEW. THESE ARE PLUG AND PLAY SPEAKERS. YOU WON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM OTHER THAN HOOKING UP 4 WIRES FROM YOUR QUALITY AMPLIFIER, OR RECEIVER. 50 WATTS RMS TO 100 WATTS RMS WOULD BE IDEAL TO MAKE THESE SOUND EXCELLENT. THE ORIGINAL OWNER DID NOT HAVE ANY TONE CONTROLS ON HIS AMPLIFIER. OR A LOUDNESS CONTROL EITHER. AND DID NOT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL EQUALIZER SOUND EQUIPMENT IN USE EITHER. THEY STILL SOUNDED MAGNIFICENT. IF YOU DON’T ABUSE THEM, THEY WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH YEARS OF LISTENING PLEASURE. THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR EXTREME LOW END BASS RESPONSE. AND THEIR NATURAL OVERAL SOUND QUALITY. ALSO INCLUDED IS AN AR3A OWNERS MANUAL CHOCK FULL OF DATA TO HELP KEEP YOUR AR SPEAKERS WORKING AND LOOKING AS NEW. THERE ARE MANY AR3A’S OFFERED ON THE INTERNET EVERY DAY. NOTICE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEM WILL NEED A LOT OF ATTENTION TO GET THEM TO LOOK AND SOUND AS GOOD AS THESE DO. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 POS. I HAVE ANOTHER PAIR OF AR3A’S LISTED RIGHT NOW. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. THEN YOU SEE AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF. PLEASE COME AND LISTEN TO THEM AND YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE DEFINITLY WORTH THE PRICE IM ASKING. THEY ARE WORKING VERY WELL RIGHT NOW. BUT I DONT HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT KIND OF AMP OR RECEIVER YOU ARE USING. OR HOW LOUD YOU WILL BE LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC WITH FULL BASS, AND ALL OTHER TONE CONTROLS TURNED UP. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THOSE MEGAWATT AMPS NOW AVAILABLE. YOU WILL RUIN THESE SPEAKERS IN A HEARTBEAT IF YOU ABUSE THEM THAT WAY.
