    Replacements for AR 2ax

    So, a friend of mine has fallen in love with my (recapped) Acoustic Research 2ax speakers and wants to buy them from me. Well, I really like them too, but like many of y'all, I have a problem with settling down with just one system. One thing besides excellent sound, these guys have a high WAF...

    AR 2ax Amp Recommendation

    Hey all. I’m currently running a pair of AR 2ax speakers with a Marantz 2220b Receiver. I’m wondering if I’ve paired them up well or if I should be running the AR’s with more power. I don’t ever turn my volume dial up passed 50%. I have two kids at home so I’m never raging out, but am wondering...

I have completed the normal repairs including new surrounds for the drivers and replaced the cross over capacitors. So, hooked them up to test and they sound terrible with nothing above around 9K...

    Testing tweeters and mids on AR 2ax

    Is there a way to test how strong the tweeters and mids are on AR 2ax speakers with a digital multimeter? I know I can just use my ears to check how strongly they are putting out sound, but (at least my) ears can be somewhat unreliable for such tests. There is definitely a difference in the...

    AR 2ax matched with Yamaha CA 800

    Afternoon Everyone I’ve wanted a pair of Acoustic Research AR 2ax speakers since I first heard “Pretty Hate Machine” through my Uncle’s at Keuka Lake in 1993. He had a Sansui 4000 receiver and a Sony cassette deck, and it sounded better than any stereo I’d heard to that point. I now have a...
