reza

finally removed the grilles from the 2a's , cabinets need re veneering but a bargain price

thanks can you , if needed repair those cloth surrounds with foam ones

another one... so which is the one to really go for I now have an option on a pair of 2A's as well, I'll prob get them anyway but wondered are the woofers , apart from the cloth surrounds, the same as the later 2AX . are they interchangeable

Why, mostly the 3 hour drive each way , I'm talking to him so will let you know EDIT next time he's down near me I'll get them , so maybe couple of months maybe less thanks for everyones input

so here are his pics so obv need refoam , also he said ... They sound fantastic. Pots all seem to be working although one mid is not so smooth so probably needs a look at reckon I'm going to pass on these

ah great I'll write to him thank you

good feedback for sure but none of it for hifi and yes I'd love to see behind the grilles but feared of how much damage he may do "unglueing" them or if he'd even be prepared to do that

lovely , wondering wether I should make the three hour journey to get these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224762963453?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2648 any opinion/ advice .....

ah ok , I am in the UK and the boxes say Dunstable, Beds UK , so H denotes Holland

no , brass metal badged so earlier

There isn't a problem The manual says "4 to 16 ohms dependant on switch positions" I just like to know in what position to set the switches for 4, 8 or 16ohm

"4 to 16 ohms dependant on switch positions"

Great pic David , whats the turntable, looks like a Sansui ?

I would

It is 4 to 16 ohm its just the switch position thats confusing me

Really confused now the manual says highest impedance as -6db and pi (switches to the left)

So David, your photo shows the switches all to the right position so 4pi and 0db are 4ohm , thanks , was getting confused lol

So the three level control switches , bass pi 2pi 4pi , mid and high -6db -3db 0db actually change the impedance so 4ohm is pi / -6db I thought they were all about sonics or is impedance sonics Sorry new speakers for me Thanks to all for your help

Thanks, yes been looking at vintage Japanese amps just dont know how much power is needed and wether I need to get an amp that has speaker outputs that will serve 4ohm speakers

No phono input , is 35w into 8ohm per channel enough to power AR10s ? Consensus seems to say they are power hungry ?

And finally back in , thanks to all for the advice

Thanks , but really after something a bit more vintage , and not needing any of the digital parts , streaming usb etc of a Vena , my main usage would be vinyl

help needed on choosing an integrated amp that will go with my newly acquired AR10s , any recommendations appreciated I'm in the UK looking to spend up to about 500 on a second hand amp and a bit confused as to what to choose especially with the 4 to 16 ohm impedance of the AR10s

Only have the standard one , the Phonomac from what I gather is vastly improved with different bearings etc and at some cost I believe if they re still making them
