I own a pair of AR-3s--still use them and the AR turntable. Purchased them in the 60s while in college.I had a particular affinity for this company. I remember the Brattle St. showroom quite well and a distant cousin (still living in Lexington, MA) was their vp of marketing.For excellent discussion (over 70 pages worth) of the company, can be found in case studies created by the Harvard Business School. These are reprinted in a college textbook: Business Policy, Text and Cases. MY copy is the 1969 edition published by Richard D. Irwin. The editors/authors are Learned, Christensen, et al. The book also has very good discussion of the "phonograph industry"I don't know how far back Harvard B School cases go, but perhaps copies of the four case studies (and the phonograph note) can be obtained from HBS directly.I haven't read these cases since 1969/70, but they were great. I'm tempted to re-read them tonight.Good luck in tracking them down, if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
