Hi, Have a set of Acoustic Research AR-5 speakers which were restored in 2016 by Human Speakers back east. The restoration included replacing all wires, tweeter and midrange controls, woofers re-foamed, new caps installed and binding post replaced. A few days ago while listening to jazz music I began to hear static/distortion from the midrange driver of the left speaker and all of a sudden there was no longer any output from the midrange driver. The speakers are 50 years old so I assumed that the driver is worn out. Is their anyone out there that may know of any rebuild services that specialize in rebuilding the AR-5 Midrange drivers or if replacement midrange drivers are available? I would appreciate any information that would help me resolve this issue. I love the sound quality of vintage AR speakers.
Thanks,
Jimmie Holland
