Hello!
I'm at my mid 20s', so speaker designer like Ed Villchur, Henry Kloss
and Roy Allison are kind of strange to me. The well-known speaker
designers in my generation are Arnie Nudell, Carl Marchisotto and Dave
Wilson.
I've read tremendous amount of comments through various audio
discussion forum regard these 3 legendary loudspeakers. However,
doesn't see anyone has do a comparison of these 3 loudspeakers.

I came across a pair of AR-3a lately, and I find it sounds wonderful
driven by a tube amplifier in an audio community gathering. I've
listened to the Allison Model One 7 years ago with CJ components, it
sounds quite nice. But I never listened to the AR-LST in my life. I
heard lots of people comments about Allison Acoustics Model One
performs and sounds better than AR-LST; and the AR-3a sounds quite
different comparing to the other 2. Some said that AR-LST is better
than AR-3a. Someone even said that the AR-9 is an improvement over the
LST. I'm confuse.

Based on what I read, Henry Kloss designs the AR-3 and refined by Roy
Allison afterwards so-called AR-3a. And both AR-LST and Allison Model
One are completely designed by Roy Allison. Anyone can analyze these 3
loudspeakers technically and sonically, and compare one to the other.

So which loudspeakers consider being the best from AR? AR-LST, AR-3a or
AR-9? How are these AR speakers up against the Allison Model One? I
really interest to learn something about these classics.

Thanks!

Boston Bland, kid, Boston Bland. If you're going to audition vintage
speakers forget about the acoustic suspension monkey coffins and go
after the saucy, curvaceous things like Klipsch (K-horn), La Scala,
Belle Klipsch: Altec 604s and other coaxes in better cabs: etc,etc.
