Guest tk73 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I was given a pair of AR-3as from a friend moving to New York and a smaller apartment. He thought they needed only minor adjustment, but it turns out they need quite a bit more. New tweeters and some other stuff, so I was told by the people at Orange County Speakers. I don't really want to make the investment. Does anyone want them - for free? I'm in West Hollywood. Let me know.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tk73 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 just to clarify - i think i wasn't specific enough - OC Speakers told me that quite a lot would need to be replaced before they were in good working order. I forget exactly the details - but basically the woofers lost most of their foam (or something - i'm not a techie), the tweeters needed replacement, and one of the speaker's connection was shorting out the amp the guy tested it with, and this would also need replacement. He said it might be upwards of $500 for them to fix it, and that they probably aren't worth it.So basically, they are going to the trash, unless someone on this website wants to put in the time and money.
