i never experienced such an event, but they certainly are capable of bad things if underpowered and overdriven. afaik they can dip down to around the 3ohm range, so a capable amp is needed. i once had them hooked up to a Yamaha CR-2040 being driven to insane volume levels and there was no...

i see. i do like the look of Danny's open baffle speakers. i would be willing to bet that they could hold their own up against similar designs such as the Linkwitz, so i'm very interested to see where this leads.

in the years i had them, i topped out at about 400wpc with a vertically bi-amped setup. never heard them with any more power than that, but i initially ran them on a 105wpc Yamaha CR-2020 and they did really well. i think in a moderately sized living room they are fine with 100wpc or so as...

love the sound, thanks! when i got back into audio about 8 years or so ago, i had never even heard of AR speakers. got the AR9's on fluke and have been a fan of the brand ever since.

Larry, did you settle on a design to go with, or are you still waiting on folks to submit orders? i'm not in the market for parts, just wondering if you had an eta for the new speakers to be in service.

ah, i see. yes i fully understand the addiction. if i had given in to my habit i would still have the AR9's.

he's a hoot! spend any time with him and it becomes readily apparent that he's a true genius and a regular guy at the same time. i was fortunate enough to spend an afternoon with him (he even bought lunch) when i picked up the speakers from his storage unit. i also took advantage of that time to...

when Ken was head of R&D at AR he based the design of the MGC-1 on principles of psycho-acoustics, following up on work he did while earning his Masters at MIT in the 1970's. i think he got it right.

the MGC-1's are far and away my fave. not only because they give a better soundstage, greater detail, are more refined, do multi-channel and are just a better sounding speaker than the other two, but also because they were given to me by the designer, Ken Kantor. their only shortcoming is the...

thanks! pardon my ignorance... whats NWCN?

seeing Larry's pic's got me inspired to post mine. i put this up elsewhere, but i'm hoping some of you here might get a kick out of seeing these. from the outside... AR9 AR MGC-1 AR91

those would be the Wharfedale 70. they look good Larry. as i recall you were quite impressed with the final product.

works for me Craig, i've always been a good layabout.

cool, i always like being on the ground floor of things..... even if i didnt have anything to do with it being there.
