pjf610 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I must let all of you know how this man helped me with my AR 2AX, he supplied me with the knowledge and expertise to take on this project and after completion the sound was truly amazing. Kudos to you Roy. Many Thanks Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 He did the same for me with my first AR restoration and am forever grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Same with me, years a go with my AR-3a. With completely destroyed crossover to almost irreversible stage, RoyC provided me all the coils, pots and caps and other parts to rebuild the crossover. I regret to this day that I did not open a new topic with details of the rebuild. I apologize for my negligence Roy. Since in that time there was no way to pay for the parts (third world country) Roy provided the parts free of charge! This noble act for preserving the AR heritage made me a collector and restorer of AR speakers. I am now on fifth pair, all with original parts (except for AR-3a tweeters which are from AR-11). Forever grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hear, hear! Roy and the fabulous community here helped me through a restoration of AR-5s a few years ago, and this week I'll be starting on 3as! Tremendously grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD70 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 We’re all very lucky to have Roy’s knowledge, help and dedication to these terrific speakers. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Recordman Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hi- I am new member to this site and eternally grateful to have purchased at auction a pair of AR3's and finding the exact, right person to restore them to the glorious sound they're known for: Roy Champange, aka Roy C. WOW! Got them home last night and connected them to Thorens TT, Soundsmith cart, and rotated through three sets of tube amplification: McIntosh MC 225 (with Budgie pre-amp), a Fisher 400 with built-in preamp, and a tube Bogen 35... LOVE that deep, low end and punchy mid-range which disclosed sounds and imaging I've not heard previously in several favorite recordings. THANK YOU, ROY C !

xtophr Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Yes, he sure fixed me up on a destroyed woofer lead. I was so grateful to him that I threw in a $50 Whole Foods gift card, which his wife snatched away from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Recordman Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Next up for Mr. Champange, aka Roy C - A recently acquired pair of AR-2ax speakers, which I would not have purchased if I had not known about "Roy C" Can't wait to get them under his care! Sincerely, Alex Miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Recordman Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 After a full rebuild treatment by Acoustic Research speaker specialist Roy Champange (ROY C) and previously having a pair of AR3's which Roy C rebuilt, I say THANK YOU! I'm visiting my nearest analog audio shop tomorrow (HiOnFi.com) where this pair will soon find it's new home-for-sale. (along with a reconditioned Bogen AP30 amp (1964) with its original BOGEN-branded power tubes, The Fisher 400 receiver, Thorens TD-124 and Thorens TD-135 turntables, TEAC 2340 4 track reel-to-reel, and other goodies to find them new caretakers!) Thank you, Roy C! 326E8605-D03B-46C3-906B-1DA5E00D7244_1_201_a.heic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
