A labor of love is going to go into this pair of Acoustic Research AR 15's.
These speakers are a bit of a basket case at present but they have a beautiful walnut veneer cabinet and the original woofers have been re foamed already.
The cabinets will need work along with a new tweeter to replace the blown one, I might opt for a pair of Dayton Silk Domes for these and sell the one good tweeter on Ebay to offset the cost.
Someone along the way tried to glue some funky tweeter into place and did some damage to the front baffle, I will fill these spots in with a sawdust/glue mixture and repaint the front baffles, perhaps a piano gloss.
While I have these apart the crossovers will probably get new caps.
I will be in no real hurry to get these ones going until the weather get nicer to work on the cabinets outside.
