Not manufactured any more.

Great thread!

AR 3A wonderful speakers.. I never had to work on many AR speakers because they seldom screwed up. I sure like. I seen a few on stands too, that was the ticket. I used QSO 808 with a ring mid driver. I'm actually listening to them right now. Very close in sound. Look at the bass drivers and the cabinets. I don't think these were a matched pair.. ????

I new a guy named Mugs he had a pair of these. They sounded better than the QLS1. Theses were powered by infinity amps and used an Infinity preamp too. No Idea who actually made them.. They were in one of the first large treated rooms, I had ever heard and the guy had 2 (TWO) VMPS passive subs. He worked at the largest record retailer in the Bay Area for 10 years.. 10,000 records at least.. You wanted to hear it, he had it.. :-) Mugs went to heaven. :-)

When I was 18 I heard those Dahlquists hooked up to a rack full of McIntosh electronics and was gobsmacked.  Thus began my continual upgrading into the best I could afford.  By the time I could afford them they were no longer made.  Sad.

=1 x5owner1 on the Gallo 3 series.  Could sound very good indeed, and at  very reasonable price point, esp. by the standards of today's hobby.

I briefly had a pair of 3.5s or 3.6s, but could not get them to sing with the 30wpc amp I was running.  I expect they wanted a bit of juice.

Weird that the company persists, but discontinued the special speaker in their line (the Strada is good, but not in the same league)
