ar-2ax

Lately I got a set of AR-2ax. As you can imagine, the surrounds of the woofers were gone and this was destroying the idea behind this model - the closed volume. So they were not sounding great. Also the boxes were beaten-up to some extent. So I refoamed the bass speakers. Also replaced the...

Picked up these two today. Matching cabinets and grilles, but unfortunately mismatched speakers. I already have a set of AR-2ax's, but I'd kind of like a set of 2a's... Seems like this mismatched set is pretty common to find? With that said, I'll gladly trade anyone the 2ax for an orphaned 2a.

I just finished up the first of a pair of 2ax's I got for $10. I refoamed the woofer, replaced the tweeter with the PE HiVi Q1R dome plus parallel 0.05 mh inductor and modified the crossover using 8 ohm L-Pads and a 25 ohm midrange attenuator. I also stripped the old finish and applied Watco...
