AR48s Woofers specs


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello to everibody. I'm new mwmber from Italy. I have the speakers in subject and I love them! Unfortunately ten years ago I have substituted the original woofers with commercial ones !!!STUPID!!! The originals? Lost in trash !!!DOUBLE STUPID!!!

From there the sound is not the same...

Is here anybody that knows the AR48s woofer specs? Or where I can find it? Or where I can find out a couple of 2nd hand original woofers?

The AR original spare parts are too much expensive.

Thanks

Bye

Dam, I also have an old pair of AR48s speakers. The've been taking up closet space for years, the woofers need to be refoamed but I never seem to get around to doing it and I can't bring myself to just toss them out. I think I have the original spec sheet that came with the speakers, give me a couple of days and I'll see if I can dig it up.
