Illf8ed Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Just finished one of the LST-2 grills with off white linen material from Gig Harbor, Wa. I was considering selling these as they need Chris to rebuild all six tweeters. With this cloth they look too nice. Keeping them a little longer.

Aadams Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 All the speakers required to make a 4 way LST that doesn’t need a rear wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illf8ed Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Just sent all six dome tweeters to Chris today. Getting close to finishing my recent AR acquisition....AR-10pi and LST-2. Listening to the 10pi right now. I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD70 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 They look great! My tweeters were all blown when I bought mine from a CL listing. At the time no one was rebuilding these tweeters, basically “paper weights” and I stupidly tossed them, and went with the HiVi tweeters that Roy recommended at the time. Mine were basket cases, needing a reveneer, all the grill frames were broken and needed to be glued back together, and new grill cloth from 123 Stitch. They sound great and look brand new! Chris does great work. He’s restored some for me for some 3as. Did you reform your woofers as well? Really great sounding speakers, and scary dimensional. They seem to bend sound around corners!

Illf8ed Posted April 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’ll go after the woofers after hearing the rebuilt tweeters. What’s in there are from Radio Shack and pretty light weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illf8ed Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Glenn, What other speakers do you have to compare to your Acoustic Research models? I have ESS amt1a and 1b pyramids besides the AR-10pi and LST-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illf8ed Posted July 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just bought a pair of AR 20004-0 woofers (from AR-48S) for the LST-2s. One of the forum strings said any of the later AR 10” woofers will work in the LST-2. I just sold the AR-10pi set so I feel justified spending a bit on these. Also down to three pair of speakers total which I can connect to my Pioneer SX-1010 at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illf8ed Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I reduced my collection to two pairs now. Keeping the LST-2 and modified ESS amt-3 Rock Monitors. Less clutter in the room now. Time to sell a couple of the reel to reels as I have five of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD70 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I’ve not heard the rock monitors, but hope to someday. They look impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
