Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Just got my ARs back that I have owned since new. South Florida Speaker Repair did the work. I had the woofer surrounds replaced, all four pots replaced and black cloth over the original material. The tweeter and mid-range checkd out on both speakers. The speakers look and sound great. I replaced the pots to keep them original and at the mid setting should give some protection for the irreplaceable components. The black covering is thin and the original material gives it body.

Was it a shock to see them in black?Bret"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 South Fla Speaker repair refoamed my AR woofers for me and did an excellent job. I had them bypass my tweeter controls and replaced my mid controls. Also purchased my first AR speakers from them over a year ago. They were used, in good shape but needed cabinet cleaning. Sold those and now have my AR3's. I'm now addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Believe it or not, they look great. They re-oiled them and they look as good as anything currently on the market and sound better ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 They do great work. I kept the pots to keep the input down on the original mid-range and tweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking that after seeing them in white for so many years that it might be a shock to the system, of sorts.Bret"I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."

Guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 BretThe black cloth was a whim after looking at the same thing for 30+ years but they look so good with that deep oil finish that it was a good decision.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
