I have owned two pairs of 3a's,I ran them with a AR amplifier that I still have,it is rated at 60w per channel at 4 ohms.I can say from experience they will NOT handle that kind of power with 500w,they were never designed to handle that much.The problem was they sounded decent in the day and I always wanted to hear them louder,excellent bass but the tweeters are fragile.The AR amp was a perfect match for them,I found that with larger amps they were only slightly louder but were easily damaged.
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.
