Even the diminutive, and excellent, KEF LS-50s cost more, and certainly won't reach as deeply into the bass.

GTry building those speakers today.
I have built similar speakers and yes you are in the one grand range.
An example is my three way version of the A-25
Woofers now $300 (amazing how the Seas A26Rex price inflate quickly once there was an interest again in that woofer)
mids Morel MDM55 $160
Tweeter Seas 27TDFC $100 (by the way one of the best audio buys in history today)
Xover parts $300
Cabinet, hardward, fill, finish, etc - say $250
So you're up to a grand and this is a DIY project with no finished cabinets.
So if you look at it that way then $1200 is about right.
Oh, there a plenty of new designs that will equal or best the AR-3's for that amount of money.
There is no beer in food, but there is food in beer.
I'd hope for a lot more today.
Better looking, better parts.
Not sure where it would be made tho.
But I do wonder- in another 50 years,
Will we still be fixing the ar's to use or
Will something of today be the classic?
