Ubeturass Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 I have a pair of AR-5 speakers that have been in storage for several years and now no longer work. Online sources suggest that the Potentiometers have become corroded and need to be cleaned or replaced. Even when they were new adjusting the pots has never made any difference in the sound. Now I'm thinking that I can bypass the pots altogethter. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is, you are probably correct about the pots. The bypass idea will not improve your speakers and will make them unbearable unless your ears are specially suited for the over-prominent mid-range sound of your modified speakers. Are you the original owner? Can you supply photos with grills off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
