CSUNRocks Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 They sound wonderful. I can actually such clear separation. Compared to my JBL’s next to them, they are a step up. How could a 60 year old speaker sound so good ? The effort that went into engineering these. Man alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Nice! I have a pair of mahogany veneered 3s waiting on restoration. It will be my first time hearing AR-3s when they are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost guarantee the mids should be rebuilt as the dome sealer is most likely rock hard now, greatly reducing their output. Roy C. rebuilds them, and I can say the difference is astounding! Mine sound as close to new as possible now. Well worth the effort. What are your serial numbers? Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSUNRocks Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I will have the guys in Minneapolis a NW Speaker remove the mids and the highs ?and have Roy rebuild them. I’m afraid to do it myself. The serial. Numbers are C25803 and C25840. They do now sound equal or better than the JBL L-96’s. I enjoy brushing my hand over the cabinets. They are so smooth and beautiful. I use a Gibson guitar cleaner on the cabinets. It’s perfect for this varnish. They do sound strong. The former owner never turned them up loud and cherished them.

Did you ship yours to him or drive the entire speaker to him. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD70 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi, I shipped just the mids to Roy. It would cost a fortune to ship the complete speaker cabs! Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
