Hello, my name is Chad and I have a speaker problem

Since I have been involved in this community I've seen a lot of rooms that use speakers as speaker stands, I myself have been guilty.
 
Let me know when you get to 25 pairs and then we'll talk. I just gave away 4 pairs just to show that I'm a recovering speaker-holic. (1 pair of Polk 7A's, 1 pair of KLH 17's, 2 pair of KLH 32's)
 
Well the problem just got worse .... for the better!!!! AR-2a came home today. And I LOVE THEM. This is the sound I love! But can anyone tell me, are these the original midrange drivers? They look a little too new.

they look right to me, mine came warped too and the surrounds loaded up with goop. I was looking into doing a conversion by adding the ar-2ax mid and do a conversion. AR just added a new face plate where the mid's were. that was before I raided it for parts, your woofers look good as well as the tweets.

Thanks! Good to know. I will rave on about these speakers soon. I think the consensus was the upgraded midrange didn't yield much difference, but who knows?
 
I just noticed in your pic the frame for the mids is broke off, you may have a leak if that isn't sealed. well if you can find a good deal on a pair of mids on the bay you can play around and see

Oh, I see that now. I'll take a look and see if I can fix that somehow or think of a way to seal them off. I was thinking about the AR2ax upgrade and some point, but I love the sound so much now I'm not really worried about it!

I have a question. These are supposed to be laid on their sides. They're not mirror imaged so I can't figure out how you can possibly lay them sideways and have the tweeters equally positioned. :wtf:

You always end up with positioning looking like this:

Nice inventory!
I have had all of the above. Point being... Humbly stated their wouldn't be a space problem. The Mini Mites and DQ-10's would be the only 2 rating a foot print and power:)
 
I thought i was ok. Today my wife pointed out that we have 32 pairs of speakers in the house.. Not sure what she was trying to tell me.:idea:

That if you could get an average of $100 a pair for them on CL, BT, or USAudiomart, you could have one pair of excellent speakers? :rolleyes:

Glad you came here for help figuring out what your wife ment. Us AKers are proud of the help we extend to our fellow members. I believe its entirely possible she is wondering why you don't have 40 or 50 pairs of speakers, because she is such a loving wife and really cares about your hobby and passion. You should take her out to dinner at least once a week and tell her how lucky you are to have a wonderful wife like her.

My wife agrees with you..

Except that at my house, half of them are in need of restoration, and half of THOSE are in pieces at any one time...
