AR3a vs. JBL-100
I have always had brute-force amplifiers such as the Citation 16, or 19, or back in the day (and still today) AR electronics. So efficiency has never really been an issue - the main speakers are...

AR3a vs. JBL-100

Non-Polarized Panel-Mount Convenience Recptacles
Just struck me - be sure to do the TIP-Mod on that device before releasing it back into polite society. Most especially applicable to Jefferson Street models (19121 zip-code). And replace the 2N3055...

Non-Polarized Panel-Mount Convenience Recptacles
