And use it as a subwoofer amp connected to a pr of AR3a used as woofers.
I found the 2100 to be flat and 2 dimensional when used full range. That , it is vey quiet, built to withstand a bomb blast, and retains its value.
To your question- AR used Dynaco MKIII monoblocks to demonstrate the AR3. You can find a restored pair for $1200-$1500. They will not sound as good as a restored Cit II, but will hold their resale value until you can get a better amp.
On the SS side, maybe look for an Adcom 555 and then have it rebuilt. Total cost should be about $1000.
Classicspeakerpages.org is a site dedicated to AR speakers. Many of the participants favor Big Crown and Pahse Linear amps to drive 3/3a speakers.
Enjoy !
Best, Ross.
