Sonnar Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Dear friends, I would like to share with You some pics of my past life involving AR speakers. December 1966 ( 50 years ago!! ) , AR Xa and AR 3 , october 1973, AR 3a , and I was reading Topolino ( italian edition of Mickey Mouse comics ). At 56, still listening AR speakers, perhaps coherent with myself. Cheers, Adriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnar Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Thank You Sam! And that was the best sounding low-wattage amplification for AR 3, the Marantz 7c tube preamp and the 8b power amp that was cached in the bookcase because my mother said that was ugly!

Sonnar Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 No. Unfortunately , my father was that kind of man who has absolute trust in technical progress, he replaced AR 3 with 3a and the tube Marantz 7c/8b with SS model 7t / 15 . It was 1968/69 , and in July, 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, tubes technology seems very obsolete . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
