Greetings all,
This is my first post here however I've read alot of great posts regarding AR speakers and other technical goodness from you all.
I came across a pair of 5's at a fair price (400 Aus $), I then asked for photos with the grills removed. The photos showed a non original woofer, I was disappointed and then realized that there could be other potential problems the original owners did not know about. So I made a deal for $200 and had them collected for me buy a friend.
Originality is a big factor for me, being both a functional and psychological one. I'm going to eventually get the tweeters rebuilt seeing that it's now possible, sooner the better so it seems, but just need to find the time like with all of my other 101 projects! You're right Adams, with supply being so thin here in Aus it makes choosing more difficult and people seem to charge "vintage tax" while not knowing any great deal about the part anyway. Perseverance is key.
Thank you for
