Default AR3a/AS103a speakers and the Heathkit AR1500 receiver

I thought all your bi-amping adventures were done with the purpose of not
altering the original design of your AR3a's.


John, the various mod sites noted emphasize the need for a fixed
resistor in place of the pot, simply bypassing the adjustable function.
Yes, *maybe* get them out of the circuit, no, do not alter the overall
function of the circuit.

http://layneaudio.hypermart.net/AR3aXorig.gif shows the OEM crossover
arrangement. One may either bypass the wiper directly to the 0-ohms
position, or remove the pot inserting a 16-ohm resistor and tying the
correct leads at the 0-ohm position.
