Acoustic Research AR-9 speakers -- comments...?

I have a pair of AR-90's the smaller brother to the 9's they are very nice but POWER HUNGRY. Mine are in need of restoration such as foam surrounds. There is a person on e-bay called vintage AR that sells parts for AR speakers that I understand is a very good person.

I am planning on restoring my AR 3As. I would guess that most of the existing AR Speakers out there are due for restoration or repair. (if not done in the past)

It was the widespread popularity of the AR3a combined with its 84dB (in)efficiency that inspired Bob Carver to create the Phase Linear 700 power amp (IIRC from one of his interviews).
