Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Stacked AR's anyone?




As the proud owner of a pair of '64 AR 3's, and '74 AR 3a's without enough real estate to set them up in separate systems, I decided to stack them. I'd read positive comments by some AR gurus over at the AR Forums/Classic Speaker Pages so I thought what the hell it's worth a try. The recommendation over there was to stack them horizontally, woofers on the outside, rather then the traditional vertical method. Well, they were right. Amazing, powerful sound that has left me giddy. And they look pretty cool in this arrangement too.

Driving them with a McIntosh 4100 which can play 3 pairs of speakers simultaneously and drive loads down to 2 ohms. It hardly breaks a sweat.
