IF YOU ALWAYS WANTED A PAIR OF AR-3a SPEAKERS BUT WERE BUDGET CONTRAINED, PERHAPS THESE ARE FOR YOU. We have just about exhausted our inventory of great components. These are our last. We are no longer doing restorations. Fully tested with test equipment and a music source. You will be very impressed. Just like you heard in the’60s. A pair of our inventory cabinets in unfinished pine plywood. There are some usual blemishes. However, the cabinets have all square corners and there are no substantial scratches, dings or bruises. As AR-3a tweeters meeting original specs. Are impossible to find, we have replaced both original voice coils and internal and external suspensions. These are now clear and strong and will likely be set below full volume as AR intended. The woofers are two of our best originals with new surrounds and centered voice coils. The midranges are an original late production matched pair. All four level controls have been replaced with lifetime guaranteed controls. Original knobs are installed. All crossover capacitors have been replaced with lifetime guaranteed capacitors. All new fiberglass stuffing and cabinet sealer. The grille frames are our strong replacement frames. The cloth is a replacement cloth that we use on all AR-3a speakers. It is imported, acoustically transparent, off white linen with the little slubs running up and down the fabric just like the original. The AR logo plates are new laser engraved plates manufactured for VINTAGE-AR; brass with a little gold to prevent tarnishing, on a burgundy plastic backing. You will never need to polish or replace. Serial numbers are 21747 and 22637. We have taken critical pictures of all sides, tops and bottoms so you can judge the condition yourself. These will give you many years of great service. The AR-3a utilizes a heavy 12 inch ceramic magnet woofer, a 2 inch dome midrange and a 3/4 inch paper dome tweeter. The AR-3a is a 4 ohm system and 25 watts r. Per channel minimum is recommended. It measures 14 x 25 x 11 3/8 inches and weighs 53 lbs. Comment on our last AR-3a sale. Larry, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!! Sound as nice as they look.
