Fried A-3 speakers

Thanks RW and Bojack,

Based on your comments I think I will go ahead and buy them. I was going to run them with a solid state integrated. I think it will be more than adequate in a small office, do you agree?

Any suggestion on stand height?

Should the tweeters be above, below or even with my ears?

I bought them today based on the comments from all above. I responded earlier, but that response has not posted so sorry if this comment is a repost.

The seller said the marks on top cleaned up and sent updated pictures.

Any suggestions on stand height? Should the tweeters be above, below, or at level with my ears?

Thanks again for all of the input. I will be using this in my office with a Roksan integrated amp.

Jperry,

Good job on getting them, and I have used my 19" VTI stands to good effect, putting the tweeter at ear level. For years, though, I used slightly higher stands, and they still sounded good. BTW, I bought my first pair from a Fried dealer who had used A3s as his personal speaker since the 80s. He had them hooked up to a pretty cheap Yamaha received, and they sounded great at his home. They're 90dB efficient with a benign load, so they sound good on anything from 25W on up...post an update when you get these puppies up and running. I think you are going to like them.

Thanks Bojack. I will update this when I get them up and running. It will be a couple of weeks due to my schedule.

Thanks again for all of the help.

They arrived, work fine, are in great condition, and sound very good. Hooked up with Kenwood KD-500 turntable and Roksan Caspian integrated. I need to buy an equipment stand and speaker stands.

Thanks to everyone for their comments
