X-over Break In Period

01 October 2011 - 09:19 PM

Just finished the restoration wiring in my AR3a's and wanted to have a listen to the mids and tweets before closing them up. I double checked all the wiring to make sure I got everything right. The woofer is sitting vertically on top of a milk crate just below the box (wired up). I am running an Adcom GFA 5400 (125WPC) with the preamp in mono mode. One speaker is an AR3a and the other is a Large Advent. I realize that the AR is 4 ohms and the LA is 8 ohms. I know some will say this may not be a good comparison but the LA sounds much better at this point (mids and highs). I was thinking and hoping that there is a break-in period for these new crossovers. I know that my Advents seem to improve over time after re-capping the x-overs. I also swapped AR3a's to see if one was better...............nope.........both the same.....the tweeters sound very subdued. The mid ranges have lots of volume. Any comments are appreciated.

WTB AR3a Tweets and MIds

I have Heathkit AS-103a's, one with an open Tweeter voice coil and one with an aftermarket Mid (SpeakerMart) that I would like to exchange. I would like to get one of each matching the ones in the photo if possible but I may have to buy a pair of each to get them matched..at least cosmetically.  Is there anything out there? Thanks in advance............

I need a tweeter and a mid for my AS-103a's and wondering if AR5 drivers will work? Thanks
