broken ar18s
hi, i had a set of perfect ar18s which got torn up in transit on my way to uni.. i have raked the net for replacements but the closst iv come are some ar4xa's, are these on a par? also, ca i have an idea as to how much money i broke when i broke my speakers? not that it was money that bothered me as i loved these speakers, and also what wattage were they, about 35rms? iv saved the tweeters and am determined to build or buy another ar set!

Free air resonance is about 29Hz. I am beginning to wonder if the home diyer CAN restore these woofers to anywhere near original spec. As they were used with no cross
