I'll jump in on the AR3a's. I grew up with them and didn't like them becuase I didn't think they sounded good with rock n roll. This was in the early-mid 70's. We were powering them with a Sony STR 6065 receiver with 70 wpc. Later in life I realized we had been underpowering the 3a's by using the Sony receiver. In the early 80's I connected those 3a's with my McIntosh 2125 and the difference was just astounding. I have recently refurbed a pair using the caps mod and new pots from Vintage AR on EBAY. They sound magnificent and the new caps open them up a shade more than some AR 3a purests would want. But to my ears they are great speakers. They need power though and lower wattage receivers would not mate well in my opinion.
