art Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 snagged a pair of AR 2 ax's at good will 25 cash. one unit had a bit of a buzz in woofer. replaced with same unit from 1968...cost 30 bucks. pots are bad but found a spot where they both work OK.THESE ARE INCREDIBLE wish i had heard them when they were new!!!!! I am comparing them to Polk audio 7b monitors and Advent legacy II's with an M&K sub on them...imaging and realism is better on the AR'sPlease tell me my ears are working right??!!heres a pic after i replaced the cloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Welcome to the CSP Art!Nice find! You may want to take a look at the AR 3a restoration booklet:http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library/acoustic_research/original_models_1954-1974/original_models_schematicss/restoring_the_ar-3a/much of what is included is relevant to the 2ax. I'd suggest taking the pots apart and cleaning them, and while you're inside the box replace the capacitors. I've restored 2 pair of 2ax's and use one in my vintage set-up in the rec room. Great speakers.Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
