RE: I further researched my vintage brochures, and no mention is made

Edgar Villchur said in their live-vs-recorded demos, they used an Ampex tape recorder. See link below.

I visited their Grand Central Station demo room once as a teenager - I did not happen to notice what phono cartridge they used. I just remember how much more majestic sounding the AR-3a's were than any of their other speakers. That woofer was a revelation to my young ears.
