Amplifierz Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Plus: Managed to score a Acoustic Research A-07 amplifier. After an overhaul i think these two will mate quite well. In my small friendgroup everyone knows that i love AR, and everything they encounter regarding AR they will send my way. Lovely isn't it? Friends that make you buy more audio gear.

Amplifierz Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 @lance G Thx Lance! It all worked out fine, this speaker sounds superb now! Only thing left is to replicate the process on the other speaker and we are back in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i needed to lower its output through resistors. I can attest to this. One of the screens fell off the mid on my AR 3s, and I haven't gotten around to re-gluing it yet. One speaker has noticeably higher output than the other. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amplifierz Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Yes Pierre, indeed. Good thing i managed to score another set of original AR5 mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amplifierz Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Got the last one done aswell. Had a few hick ups along the way, but they are working and sounding amazing... You guys really were right that with my resistors the sound was way off. Now with the lpads in there they sound like totally different speakers. Thanks everyone for contributing to my journey.

I have enjoyed following your interesting ( to me ) journey. Well done, I hope the outcome was worth the work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
