  1. I had those stands along time ago (early 70's)with a set of AR-2ax speakers. They were pretty sturdy. But like so many things they're long gone. Then again maybe those were mine.....
  2. @JohnnyTheGto be honest I can't remember. I was only a teenage at the time and was only interested in blasting rock 'n roll music ....not so much the quality of the sound....
  3. I had a set of the top speaker stands in the ad above many many years ago with my AR2ax's on them. They were pretty cool. And if I remember correctly they were very sturdy. Where are they now.....who knows.
  4. Tom, Fantastic job! I've owned AR9's since 1978 and still used them today. I rebuilt them a while back and they still sound wonderful. It was a real pleasure reading your article. And I agree with Pete B, all the technical and inside information made it feel like you were part of the development team! Your writing skills are top notch also! I too have downloaded it for my personal storage and use. By the way, love the picture of the AR9 sideways on the tripod for the testing session. Thank you again, John
  5. RickB, Thank you for the kind words about the LST stands! John
  6. I'm the original owner of my AR9's that I bought when they first came out and they don't have the foam inserts. They never did. The tweeter has a thin foam pad around it but that's it. And I'm pretty sure the tweeters I replaced at one time and that's why they have the thin foam pad around them.
  7. You should be fine. The AR-2ax's have a maximum rating of 100 watts. BTW my first set of AR speakers were 2ax's back in the early 70's....loved them! Here's a link to our library which shows the power handling of AR speakers.
  8. Nice job Kent! They look awesome and the grills will give them the finishing touch. I'll keep watching your progress with these..... John
  9. I had the same rattling issue with my AR-2ax's several years ago. As it turns out it was the spider coming loose from the basket. Roy's picture show the same thing I found with mine. Here's a picture of what mine looked like. John
  10. The LST has 4 tweeters, 4 mids and a 12" woofer and is a 4 ohm speaaker. The LST-2 has 3 tweeters, 3 mids and a 10" woofer and is a 8 ohm speaker.
  11. Sold my LST-2's a few years ago. (Kind of wish I didn't but I still have the LST'S) Kent's advice is excellent as usual, listen to him! Take your time and you should be fine. The LST-2's are fine speakers and should give you many more years of service. As for those "Spectral Balance" knobs, I'm pretty sure there's TWO set screws in each of them. Good luck with them. John
  12. Here's a link to the stands I made for my LST's a few years ago if you're interested. LST Stands John
  13. All four tweeters should have the same output.
