Alright. Since i am the novice here, any kind of advice i always take in consideration even when its the wrong kind of advice.

Thank you for your expertise. I am merely a hobbyist that knows little to nothing about crossovers. I will look into that.

Ohh, i have music on a NAS. The streamer does also play from LAN.

Nope, no turntable. Streamer into a DAC.

Roy, i believe it was 8 ohms for the tweet and 5 ohms for the mid. In series of course.

I got a miniDSP for that. If i ever feel the need to attenuate the mid when i change something in the chain.

Hi Aadams, Yes. That is a Hi-Vi Q1R. Fitted with the appropriate addons to achieve close to AR sound. Yep, i cut the screens from the mids. Unfortunately someone dropped a unit while i was working on them, leaving a big old dent in the screen (and the dome underneath it) Needed to remove the screen and use a vacuumcleaner and the tape method to resurrect the now inverted dome. I managed to pull it off without severe damage, but i saw no way to place the screen back. And to make them look identical i removed the screen from the other mid aswell. Pots were not salvageable, 40 years of thick corrosion did its thing. Even an overnight bath in distilled white vinegar wasnt up to the task. So i looked around for a good L-pad replacement. A friend of mine suggested that you don't want L-pads in the signal, so i went with the direct resistor route. After multiple hours of testing and listening i came to the right values, put them in and never looked back. They sound amazing right now. Okay, attenuation is a bit trickier right now. But these speakers are now tuned how i like them, and they aint leaving anytime soon.

Hi guys, Just wanted to share, my Acoustic Research AR-5's. I fell in love with the AR sound after i found a pair of damaged AR4xa's on the sidewalk. Made them work, loved the sound. Went searching for a next step up, came across a pair of AR-5's. Unfinished pine,cabinets damaged, tweeters destroyed. Woofers badly refoamed, pots heavily corroded.. But! They were only 50 bucks. So i dediced to go all out and give my twist on them. Here is the result.
