OK, I'm going to repair them. I have a copy of the repair guide that this group has made. It is very good. So now I have a technical question.
The AR3s were acoustic suspension speakers, so they say. Is there something magic about the woofer, and other components that made this speaker so good?, or is it because it uses a totally enclosed box, without any port, and the box is stuffed with sound absorbing material. I have heard that this speaker takes a lot of power to drive it. Is this because there is no port? Does this mean I will eventually need a fairly high power mid range and tweeter?
I do have knowledge of electrical components. I wonder what has gone bad on both of these speakers? I guess the pots could have opened up or maybe the caps.
I will have to investigate.
It is really wonderful that this forum is read and responded to. I am looking forward to my project, with help and advice of course.
