And don't let anyone tell you, that it's OK just to hard-wire around the L-pads, instead of repairing or replacing them. If the speakers have disabled L-pads, make sure you budget into the total price you're willing to put into them, to get the L-pads replaced. The AR-2A sounds like dog doo-doo, without them... harsh, bright, unbalanced...
