I suggest that all you lurkers, posters and whomever go there and take
a listen. Even with dinky computer speakers the unmistakeable purity,
clarity and realism of this 53 year old design sees off so many modern
high-end systems that I am left wondering, have we taken a wrong turn
somewhere along the way to better sound?
Comments welcome, but please do not shoot the messenger!!!!

I heard a pair at an audio fair in Toronto in around 1970 and was not
impressed. The AR3A's quadraphonic sound demo did impress me, but the
big old Klipschorns struck me as badly coloured. Of course I was only
just under 30, what can you expect in the way of taste at that age?
My 66 year old ears might have an entirely differing opinions, but I
won't venture to say which pair would be right.
