I've got a pair of the 303's and the 302's. Very happy with both. Excellent value. As said earlier in this thread...these aren't going anywhere unless someone prys them from my dead fingers. :thmbsp:
I am a proud owner of the 302's! I bought them new from Florida when they were found in the where house and blown out for $300 way back in the early 2000's. To the previous poster asking about these and the klipsch quartet, I cannot answer your question as I am not familiar with that particular klipsch speaker. I can tell you that I came across a pair of Polk LS90's some months back, orig $1600, and supposedly the last good music speaker polk made before moving into HT. I recapped those suckers with some nice Clarity Z's and I enjoyed them for months while I loaned a good friend my 302's. Well literally tonight I finally got my 302's back and hooked them up, and I am back in heaven. I now realize that the polks were too bright to the point of being fatiguing, they lacked the tight bass I get from these 302's that are basically massive monitors, and my massive soundstage, deep and wide, is back. I want to listen to all of my favorite tracks again! I love my 302's! I think I will keep them forever. I am including a pick of the stands that I made that really stabilize these babies, stands weigh in at 40lbs each just like the speakers, redwood and construction grout, aka, really strong concrete. If you can find a pair of 302's then grab them!

I just bought a very nice pair of AR 302s from AKer, Bill56, who bought them from Jamal aka Bostown. So, these are the same pair about which Jamal started this thread. These are going to my nephew, who just got his MD. Part of his graduation package will include a minty Sansui G-7500 and an AudioEngine B1 along with the AR 302s.
Just in case anyone wondered what happened to these.
Thanks. All true, but I have another motive: I have been sprinkling these systems among family members so that I have someone to talk with about vintage audio at family get-togethers. I'm also trying to build interest in the hobby among younger people. So far everyone loves their vintage audio systems. It's a lot of fun delivering the surprise packages to those who have shown interest in the hobby.Thanks for reporting back!
It's neat to hear what happens to our respective "audio children". Sounds like your nephew is being rewarded well by his uncle for all of his hard work.
I just picked up a pair pf these AR 302 beauties and wouldn't you know the left midrange woofer is DOA. Any ideas where I might be able to find a replacement? EBAY?? Any help would be appreciated. The right speaker sounds great though...
