I restored two pairs of AR-2ax’s, and love them, never hear 3’s or 302’s
if you prefer the allison 2’s and more prefer the kappa 8’s, what makes you want to fix the least preferred damaged ones that are very old in any case?
Acoustic Research 302 mid range trauma..Please Help
Hello everybody..I have had a pair of AR 302 speakers, a more modern commemorative model to the AR 3, in black that I bought while living in CO several years ago and soon found they were one of my favorite speakers, a close 2nd behind the Allison 2's which are a close 2nd behind Kappa 8's..I'm now back home in east TN and recently bought my first house ever at age 60 last Spring..then 3 mos ago a neighbor's full grown Oak tree fell over and through the roof into my bedroom where the 302's were sitting knocking one flat on it's face and pretty much destroying the mid range..With the flooding this region had a few weeks ago slowing my home owner's insurance down it's been the past few days they've been wanting me to send in everything that was damaged, so even though I haven't sent pics of the speakers yet I will add them later today to this discussion..The metal cage over the mid is pushed in quite a bit and the white foam ring is a gonner but not sure how bad the actual dome is but it's pushed in concaved and will definitely need somebody good at this kind of thing to repair the speaker, even if it can be..I've looked everywhere I know to look for a pair of replacements but these 302's and 303's were a commemorative kind of speaker to the AR 3's and pretty rare to begin with..I've pretty much settled on trying to find somebody to try repairing this mid range speaker but of course finding a pair or even a single to replace it would be my first choice..Anybody have anything useful suggestions?
