Here is a chance to own an iconic piece of audio history: the legendary Acoustic Research AR3! These were in great physical shape when I got them from the original owner who purchased them in 1964, and I spared no expense in their internal restoration. They received the royal treatment, including:-New heavy duty ohmite pots -NOS Russian "KGB" paper in oil capacitors -Re-doped woofer surrounds and dust caps with correct doping from "vintage-ar" -All drivers are 100% original and fully functional -Original grill cloth and badges -4 coats of Danish Oil applied by hand
Possibly the cleanest and best sounding examples of these legendary speakers currently available for sale on the planet! (well at least on the east coast) They sound as good every bit as good as they look. The cabinets are beautiful overall (especially considering these are over 50 years old!), with some very minor chips and dings here and there, and there is an area of the wood on the back corner of one cabinet that seems to have split and was patched (looks like a very old repair - see picture). This does not effect their sound in any way, and is only visible from behind. Free CONUS shipping via USPS - local pickup welcome
