Hi isupreme these are not original replacemement drivers but I am very satisfied with the sound

Ra Ra how does it make sense to spend 80 dollars on a pair of tweeters that cost a few dollars back in the 80s and not knowing if the ferrofluid is still good these are not the AR3 Tweeters

That is right Ra Ra my offer is still open to come over for a listening demonstration as I do still have my AR Turntable

Brownie you would need to remove one of the bottom woofers to get access, I actually removed the whole crossover from the cabinet to rebuild it and upgrade the speaker terminals with banana female inputs

Ra Ra I just felt like when I was listening to the speakers it seemed somewhat veiled in that area I had a Hartman Kardon intergrated amp and my AR Turntable with the original arm and using a nice Denon cartridge i just felt if AR used one of there tweeters in the AR 9s series it would of made a big difference. Everyone has to remember Teledyne was out to make money so using that type of tweeters helped save money (not saying it was trash just that they had better ones in stock if they wanted to use in there lower priced speakers)ps Engineers were restricted on the budget they were allowed for that particular model. and using the same tweeter or midrange woofer helped in various models helped control the cost . I worked at Apogee Acoustic for a few years

JKent with all respect to AR and your knowledge and help on this forum I never did like the original tweeters in the 93s when I first bought them

Brownie I would definitely replace the caps in the crossovers if you have not yet

They are definitely a better option did you search to see if there are any 6 ohm tweeters out there? The resistance is not going to make much as a different because the frequency range of tweeters in general say if you used a different type of tweeters

Hi I replaced my tweeters with a model very close to this with good results Peerless DX25TG59-04 1" Fabric Dome Tweeter

Hi everyone I have a Nephew that has a early pair of the Braun L810 and I am going to help him complete his stereo system with a Turntable and new receiver (not going vintage because he wants streaming capability when not spinning vinyl) I updated my crossovers in my ARs a while back and not knowing a lot about the crossovers for this brand if they work should I just leave them alone? Or buy new caps? Also I have advised him not to play it too loud because of the midrange and tweeters thanks everyone

Lakecat couldn’t you just build a second speaker and crossover seeing you have the original drivers already

I wouldn’t blame the cats to much it looks like the spider just disintegration on its own I am not sure if Vincent at Audio Proz in Watertown could have some vintage woofers in stock

Hi Kenyer I think that is a fair price not a steal but not overpriced like I have seen the AR 3s on EBay going for(not knocking anything on the AR3s but I love the AR 9 series)

Lucky the spider is disintegrated go to Madison Sound or Parts Express for a replacement Dr Frankenspeaker needs to do surgery

Hi Daniel one of my favorite bands to show people my AR 93 (your AR 90s Baby Brother)is a Jazz Fusion band from Germany called Passport I bet they would really open up the soundstage with your speakers

Daniel very nice i am so jealous i bet the soundstage is awesome on those

Hi Giorgio i wonder if Scanspeak or Seas made the Drivers for AR

Hi Frank i made a audio recording on my samsung s9 sitting in my sweetspot my system consist of a AR Turtable 80s with a Sumiko arm and A pair of AR 93s Mod with Vifa tweeters and scanspeak midrange's i will post some photos later i just realised when recording this my microphone on my phone was facing me so that is why the recording sound like that l will try a different Album later Lonnie_Listen_Smith_sd.m4a

Ok thanks

Nice did the seller mention the name of the Stereo Store

Hi Pascal I remember seeing a pair of stands for my nephew ADS speakers that are almost the same on a website I would check over at audiokarma website

My friends aunt had those but I always prefer the original 9s

Tom that was very informative do you of any modern 12 in woofers that are close to specification for AR3 owners that might have no other options in restoration

. I would be concerned if you are paying more for used woofers than buying new ones for the same price or less

Yes I upgraded the crossover also the ohm load just changes the impedance as for my two bass woofers they are in parallel
