LINER NOTES

The AR2a was an amalgamation of the AR2 and AR3 designs, using the foundational 10" paper pulp cone and AlNiCo magnet woofer, and cross-firing midrange assembly of the AR2, and supplementing that design with the phenolic, suspended-dome tweeter of the AR3. The system has been exemplary of the "classic New England Sound" for nearly 70 years and still sounds amazing today.
