Have the opportunity to buy both within my price range. (£750) Ditton 44 has new speakers and crossover, ar3-a has been recapped and foamed and cabinet refinished otherwise all original. My question being, does anyone have experience with them both, enough to have an opinion on their sound qualities Vs each other? I know and love the mids on my ar7 and feel the ar3-a is the one to go for. I unfortunately don't have the ability to be able to audition these in person (mobility). but am familiar with ar stuff, less so Celestion (hence the general question).

Wondering if anyone has any experience pairing AR7's with a sub? Looking at buying an ar-stc660 for a reasonable price but wondering if it's worth it? Currently running a Rega planar 3 with at-vmn95C cartridge into rega mk5 phono box into pair of acoustic research AR-7's via a Denon PMA-255UK. also generally have some budget to make upgrades to this setup, where would you begin? (£750ish) Thanks in advance! N.

Hi! I am a relatively new owner of some AR7's (lockdown fever got me into looking through and buying a pair of speakers and fell upon these). Have an amplifier that i bought as a teenager on ebay (was being sold with what were my first pair of studio monitor) driving the AR7's and am curious as to its whether it's worth an upgrade? The amp is a denon pma-255uk. Have had zero issues with my listening experience so far, my room is not ideal, they are on desk mounted speaker stands a foot away from the wall, making a triangle roughly 1.5m each side but theyve been wonderful for the vinyls i'm listening to these days. My main question being, are there any entry level amps that anyone would recommend? Any recommendations on power output for these, or is the amp side of things not something i should be worrying about... plannign to upgrade vinyl deck to rega planar 1 (borrowing a friends audiotechnica atm).
