I loved the AR 93 - What was wrong with me?

Remember the AR 93? It had a lot of interesting work going for it.


A 3 way, with 2x 8" woofers mounted near the floor, like Alison and Snell liked, a wide front baffle, felt around the inset tweeter. Essentially a shopping list of speaker features I look for.


This should have been a really well received, widely sought after speaker.


History hardly remembers them. What went wrong??
