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. 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 AFTER SPRAYING THEM WITH DEOXIT 5 THEY WORKED FINE, AND 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 2 WIRES FROM YOUR QUALITY AMPLIFIER, OR RECEIVER. 50 WATTS RMS TO 100 WATTS RMS WOULD BE IDEAL TO MAKE THESE SOUND EXCELLENT. 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 ALSO. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. THEN YOU SEE AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF. THEY SOUND EXCELLENT TODAY, AND I WANT THE NEW OWNERS TO GET THEM THAT WAY. I DONT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF AMP OR RECEIVER YOU WILL BE USING. THESE SPEAKERS ARE OVER 50 YEARS OLD AND WERE DESIGNED WHEN 60-75 WATTS PER CHANNEL WAS HUGE AT THE TIME. THEY WILL NOT LAST LONG AT ALL IF OVER DRIVEN. THEY SOUND FANTASTIC WITH MODEST POWERED 50 -75 WATT TUBE AMPS. The item “ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-3a SPEAKERS WORKING CONDITION” is in sale since Monday, March 11, 2019.
