I remember visiting AR's showroom at Grand Central Station in New York. I only had the budget for the AR-6 at the time (their next-to-the-least-expensive speaker, one step up from the AR-4x), and it was a chance to listen to it driven by AR electronics and an AR turntable playing good quality recordings. I thought it was fine, until they switched to the AR-3a, which was simply majestic in comparison. I never did buy the 6, instead stretching my budget to get the 2ax - the tweeter and woofer from the 5 plus a less expensive midrange. Alas, that was a disappointment.
All that said, I have a pair of AR-10pi's today (a derivative of the 3a design with crossover features from the LST). I absolutely love them. As I've said elsewhere, they are high on my list of speakers that are good enough that if you own a pair, you can stop looking for something better.
