Yes I was planning on having a refoam done as well as research what will be the best route to upgrade the xover. Are there specific replacements you will recommend? In reality, I am months way from hearing these. However they have me intrigued, one of my very rare forrays outside the word of JBL and ADS.

Hi guys, I recently purchased a pair of AR9's, I arranged to pick these behemoths up later this week. I did notice one thing that concerned me. On one of the speakers it seems to be natural wood surrounding the mid-range, on the other there appears to be a black panel. Is that removable or something that should cause concern? Also are the foam inserts required around the tweeter? Just wondering if I am missing any parts because I see the velcro pads there. Either way, I can't wait to pick them up later this week and hear how they sound, after getting them refoamed of course. I have a Luxman M-4000 and a ARC D120 waiting for them Thanks for your insights and expertise.
