Any experience on AR3a to share with us? That's a great speaker in the 70s.

AR-3 係非常出色的speaker,甚有韻味,人我覺得最正係人聲.不過,AR-3的礎鴗騆麻煩,要貼牆,而且現時找到的AR-3,不多比較殘舊或有點小問題.
AR-3係絕對值得收藏及玩味的喇叭.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Stc 兄, vintagefan 兄 幸有你兩有興趣談vintage AR speaker, 多謝, 小弟自少喜愛AR speaker, 當時係1980年,第一次見AR 9 在中環明發行, Amp係 Crown SA-2, 聲音當然係小弟自己心目中 State of Art. 因家居九龍, 童年時候經常到鴨寮街, 當時經常見二手AR speaker, 第一次見到 AR3a 就唔開胃, 白而殘到偏黃色揚捱, 高音掣iring用電蠸旬cover, 真係見其貌就……,
當時報紙有Hi-Fi專欄, 星期一買新報, 在報張上最多報到就係AR (明發行marketing strategy), 作者陳兆康(明發太子爺)偶有在AR product review 回 憶起AR 3a 無敵握五, 當時年幼的我百思不得其解, 為何這舊木會有此魔力?

Believe me or not, I have a pair of 3a(Imp) living together with another pair of my beloved though the later is 15 times much more expensive than the former, the 3a still performs better in replay of precussion.

Here is my pair of 3a Improved.
