I like to imagine i can hear a difference. incredible how small caps are now. i just got a set and appreciate the videos. they wont be like new but they will still sound great.
Hey I am trying to rebuild some AR2ax speakers that I have had lingering around. Which pots were those? I've scrounged around and found 8ohm pots but have found them in varying RMS. Thanks. Appreciate the video.
Sorry late responese. Found mine on ebay as replacement pots by searching Acoustic Research AR2ax . I was able to actually clean the original pots out and get them working fine but the customer wanted new pots.

Thank you from Stefano (Italy) Ciao, IowAudio Revisione . Ho l'Acoustic Research AR915, vorrei sostituire i morsetti a molla. ho visto dall'esterno che le viti non hanno il taglio. Voglio sostituirli su morsetti a vite, qual è la procedura da fare per sostituirli. Può essere sostituito dall'esterno? O devo rimuovere il woofer e usare il saldatore sul crossover? Puoi aiutarmi .... Grazie da Stefano (Italia)
Tip of the day try insulating that enclosure with just 2 inches of fiber glass , just on the back of the speaker doing this will improve the sound of the speaker stuffing it with all that fiberglass is a big mistake AR should know that , it is a sealed enclosure for acoustic enclosure , AR was copying EV in some of there early speakers only on there cheaper speakers like this AR2ax , I am the speaker doctor of Canada .
You skip too many step. Show everything do the step by step. I know what you're doing . Because I understand cross-over unit. Take time don't hurry. I am the watcher.

any chance you could give a full parts list for this restoration • just bought a pair and definitely needs a full restore
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My AR16 speakers had a much better crossover. I just did a cap upgrade on them. I bought them 47 years ago and I still use them.
Thank you

Do you know or have recorded the inside dimensions of the box? Specifically, the distance from the inside top to the dado cut at approx. midway?
These speakers belong to a customer so they were gone sokn as I finished them.

these are nothing like the original stuff from the 60's There would be a stapled mfg tag on the back these are much newer, towards the end of AR
You should use gloves.

I agree.... a bit fiddly with music and a lot of finger tapping of parts which tends to annoy me, but overall a good video.
