ar3

Hey everyone! First post on AudioKarma here but I've been getting advice from the forum for years! I had previously been using a Pioneer QX-747 quad amp with a set of B&W 600 s2's & a pair of JBL LX-55's (each hooked up to its own channel since there are four). I have two Technics MK2's and I...

My dedicated listening room as viewed from the entry doorway. Three Celestion 700's are the main speakers with AR3's (original) providing the 0.1. Celestion SL12sis are used as the surround speakers in this 5.1 music system. The 13" monitor is used for navigating the DVD-A menus and...
