[Vintage-Audio] Re Acoustical Research Speakers

[Ed Tanton]

Hi Duane-yes indeed. In fact, I still own a set. My originals were AR-3AXs 
and presently I own AR-10s. I bought them-and still like them-for their 
lack of 'coloration'. All the speakers that I listened to (in the early 
70s) before buying the originals sounded tinny (eg artificially bright) to 
me-as do many of today's speakers. Only the advent of sub-woofers has made 
any improvement over them from my perspective. And I do not like 
amplified-sub-woofers... it takes an AR to sound that 'natural' at either 
end of the spectrum.
