If you are into classic British speakers, look no further. Here are rare Pro-Ac Studio 3 (not Response 3) speakers with nearly impossible to get and awesome sounding ATC midranges and woofers. These gems were made from about 1984-1989, sold only to studios and the cost was around $6,000 US dollars.They have a few dings and scratches, but they look really good for their age. I am the third owner and I did the following upgrades in 2018:
1. The problematic original tweeters have been upgraded to Hiquaphon OW-1. These are considered to be one of the best and most uncolored tweeters out there. They have been recommended by Pro-Ac users as a perfect match for upgrading the Studio 3.
2. Some degraded crossover parts were replaced / upgraded by a qualified technician. 3. One midrange has just been professionally rebuilt by the TransAudio Group. (The other mid sounds perfect so I decided not to mess with it. Unlike some vintage speakers, there are no mechanical issues with these speakers. Here’s a link to how this model looks and sounds with high end electronics:

Pick up only in 07720 (Bradley Beach, NJ). I will happily audition them. I spent $1000 this year upgrading these speakers and lowball offers will be politely ignored.
