AR-2x replacement tweeters

14 July 2010 - 03:04 PM

Hi
I rescued a nice pair of AR-2X speakers from the thrift store for $5. Surrounds are in good shape, cabinets and grills are pretty good too. I will pull a woofer and get the cap values and replace them, but the tweeter on one is not working. The other tweeter is, but speakers are pretty rolled off. Possibly the crossover is damaged on the one, possibly the tweeter. Jumper wire on the terminals is connected. I know this is not one of the best models, but I am willing to throw a few dollars at them to have a nice pair of bench or office speakers. I am quite familiar with the 3a having restored a pair (wonderful). Does anyone know of a good replacement tweeter that will fit the opening and mate well with the crossover? Not looking for a $100 pair of tweeters, just something inexpensive that is a better tweeter than the original cone ones. Also, when I push on the woofer gently it springs back very quickly compared to the 3a woofers. I assume this indicates a poor cabinet seal? Again, the surrounds look very good, possibly have been redone by someone. Any tweeter advice appreciated if anyone has played with a pair of these!

cheers,
Don
