If what you want is to skip the work and potential screwing up of drivers if you do it wrong, I'd just order some of the "AR replacement" drivers being offered by Simply Speakers. A halfway decent 8" woofer from Parts Express is only going to be $20 or so cheaper, and while the SS replacements won't be exactly "right," they'll likely be closer than anything you'll find after spending hours comparing no-name drivers to the old AR specs.

That is the same thing I did with my original AR93 after my cat sprayed on the woofers and destroyed the woofer I actually bought scanspeak midwoofers from Denmark ps I only have female cats now

[AR-18 Speakers]

Steve the original AR 18 used a 8 in woofer paper cone and tweeters similar to other models AR 94 and 93 the 18b that I have in my living room setup uses a 6.5 polypropylene woofer and tweeters

Hi I remember my friend blowing out the tweeters on his AR3 so with speakers that old with original drivers i would approach with caution ⚠️

[Perceived Frequency Response Speaker vs Listener]

Interesting article I wonder if Roy Allison had any influence on Vertical Series Acoustic Research released I remember listening to a pair of AR3a my best friend had when they were working (before the internet)the sound stage definitely sounded better with them on the stands. Same when I helped my nephew set up his Braun /ADS 810s

Hi Dave are you sure it is not something in the amp circuit not causing the problem did you try a other amp or intergrated amp?

Hi everyone this video just showed up on my YouTube channel this morning

[Restoring AR 93 speakers from my youth]

Good Job ❤🥰

What are you using to drive them?

One thing I used to experiment with was putting small books under the front when I had the original drivers in the speakers 

After Dr frankenspeakers finished his operation the soundstage was more forward

Hi JKent Vifa tweeter and scanspeak midbass classic from Madison sound

Ps I just picked up a luxman hybrid intergrated amp 105u and it really opened up the bass even when I had these speakers new all my other components could not perform like the luxman
