AR 3 Speakers

I am just curious if anyone other than me currently are listening to AR 3
speakers? I have owned B&W 801, Duntech Princess and Celestion
speakers in the past which had more detail but none that had the musicality as the AR 3s have for me. I now just listen to music rather than worry about imagining ,detail , and speciality ect.
I love um.

The AR3a is only rated for 100 watts.

What's the relationship between speaker efficiency (sensitivity?) and power handling? Wait, there isn't one. How silly!

Dbphd, your earlier statement was that the speakers the ARs would replace are more efficient than the ARs. That fact has nothing to do with the maximum power handling of either speaker. The AR is spec'd at 100 watts max. Using them with an amplifier 4x their rated max probably won't cause them damage, but then again it might. There's only one way to truly find out and to quote Clint -- "do you feel lucky?"
