Hi dserota, congrats on your purchase. Certainly you are having a top notch speaker. Japs are know for their meticulous approach and quality conscious. I for one are a big fan of Japanese vintage high end stuff. Many Japs gears I own now will not be possible to be manufacture again today by some cottage manufacturer, they just do not have the resources to do it again. Look at the Sony TA ER1 preamp for example. Enjoy what you have purchase today. I am sure many years latar, a lot of people will be hunting down a pair of SS-AR1.
Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there?
Yes. I finally took the plunge. After several months of comparing and debating over different models and makes of speakers, I finally dropped a bundle of my hard earned money on a pair of speakers that say 'Sony' on the front. Still breaking them in, but definitely very happy with my decision so far. Any other AR-1 owners out there, and if so what are your impressions? Thanks.
