Also, any one ever hear of an AR2ax fixing itself ?? Plugged my cheapo (OEM) soundcard into stereo and was pumping pretty good when I noticed no sound from my right channel AR. Shut everything down, re started with FM and nothing from the AR.
Was bummed for a few weeks, decided to take it appart and test all the speakers.
Did them one by one and all worked ! Screwed the woofer back in, closed it up, turned the FM back on and...holy s**t, the damn thing works great !!! ???????????
I do the AR's as my A and KLH 6 as B (four corners of the room) and they compliment each other so well ! I know, "sound stage", "imaging", speaker placement etc. I only do this when I want to play rock loud. I sit between the KLH 6's on a love seat facing the stereo and AR's. It's like having the band in the room ! Bass player is always next to me. The only time is screws up is when an errant cymbal crash comes clear across the room from the AR's (normally the KLH's handle the cymbals - and louder). I just bought a Sansui 8080 and have been having a ball revisiting all my favorite jams from the 60's as I never heard them before ! Grew up with a 10 watt Webcor. The only way I heard them at a decent level was through my stock Ford speakers and a Pioneer
Super Tuner or 8 track !!! Everything (on CD) from Sly to Canned Heat, Airplane, The Who (Whos Next !!) to Sabbath or Creedence - like hearing them for the first time !
For classical, I do either A or B alone. Fun listening for the differences between the two. Always thought the AR's handled the bass better and the KLH the highs. However, on the 1812 Overture (Overture 1812), the triangle is better revealed then on the KLH's ! On fur Elise I can hear the piano pads strike. Great combo though.
