Hello:Thanks for your post. Can the AR 302's be Bi-amped or Bi-wired?
I'm pretty sure they can, but I don't know for sure. Also, you mentioned a "felt ring" for the mid range dome. Is this something I would have to make myself or does somebody make a product like this?Thanks Again

The AR302s are single-wire only. I would suggest making the felt-ring (as I did) out of fabric store felt. Don't forget to place strips of felt along the upper edges of the baffle(top and both sides). The felt-ring is best used around the mid dome, as use around the tweeter would damp and subdue its output too much. Enjoy.
I forget to mention earlier that the speakers sound best with bare wire connections (even though they will take spade connections or banana plugs). Enjoy.
Hello Layman:Thanks Again For Your Post.I will try out your advice on using felt to improve the sound. Will post a note to let you know how they sound in my setup next week.
Just bought an older turntable (Thorens TD 160) so I have been listening to my record collection (600 Records) which I have not done much of in the past ten years. I have a Sony DVD 3000 which serves as my CD player. I am using a Chase HTS 1 to add rear channel speakers. It's a passive device which leaves the front speakers alone, but it add's some ambiance to the rears. I have come to like this a lot. I also have a Denon DD processor in my Home theater and I got attached to the 5 Channel stereo mode for music. However, I have a pair of Paradigm Studio 40's and with proper placement 2 channels can sound pretty wonderfull too.
Thanks
