trask Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nope -- not in Holland. I'm down in Paris. Not very close but closer than the States! I'm listening to AR-5s powered by my AR amplifier -- sounds good! And I have a single AR-6 that I'm using at the office as a quasi-subwoofer for some smaller speakers. Enjoy!

Guest M. Miller Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hello Fred,I live in the south of the Netherlands (Zuid Limburg). I've had two pairs of AR4 (AR-4x and AR-4xA's) and I am currently using a pair of AR-2x, I got them relatively cheap in a thrift store. I refoamed the woofers and waxed the cabinets. They look and sound awesome! I'm using a Proton Dual mono 50 watt power amplifier to drive them.Regards,Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest M. Miller Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Dan,I will take some pictures when I get home this afternoon. I'm at school right now.What's the difference between the woofers? Mine have square magnets.Are they very rare? I hardly see them for sale online. they sound like big AR4s, with a bit more laid back treble, my AR4's sounded a bit harsh.Regards!Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M. Miller Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 The AR's are placed this way because it sounded better, in case you were wondering Serial Numbers are HX08302 and HX08301Regards!Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
