ar Connoisseur speaker replacement
Hello,
I purchased a used pair of AR speakers. The only markings that I see that tell me what it may be is Connoisseur. After reading some posts on the net/groups it appears they arethe AR30 series. I want to replace the tweeters but I am not sure what kind to get as a direct replacement. I don't know if they are 4ohm or 8ohm. Does anyone know where I can find any information about these speakers? Maybe a site or post with schematics and pictures. It has 2 speakers - tweeter and woofer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. joe |

I found that site but unfortunately it doesn't offer much info about the AR-30 at all. Specifically the tweeter specs. Thanks tho. |

The speaker specifications indicate that it's a nominal 8 ohm system which suggests very strongly the tweeters are 8 ohm nominal as well. |

I guess I could measurefrom that one and find a replacement tweeter of the same size and ohm ratings. Thanks. |

Sure, if frequency range, sensitivity, power handling, dispersion, and maybe a dozen other parameters aren't important to you. They almost certainly will be to the final sound though. You could try and match it by trial and error listening tests, if the cost of tweeters is not a consideration I guess. (unlikely given the speakers in question) Or just put up with anything that fits if sound performance is not a consideration. MrT. |
