Acoustic Research AR-3

I have a pair of these old beauties in the closet. My father bought them second hand in the 60's. I have investigated restoring these, but I have never acted on it. I thought maybe a few of you fellows could recommend someone in the southeast, or east coast that has a decent reputation and reasonable prices. Price and location are both important. I do not want to ship these to California. Any info is appreciated. Oh yeah one other thing. At what cost is it not worth it to restore these? Or maybe, what do you think I should spend to restore them. Lets just assume all the drivers need rebuilt, and crossovers need repair or replaced. Thanks,

I agree with Bbro.Bill Legall is the speaker Master. I have two pair of AR3s and they sound wonderful. Bill is going to work on a pair of Large Advents for me as soon as I can get them to him. They need new woofer surrounds, updated crossovers and what ever else he determins needs to be done.
I have known Bill for several years and been in his shop. He is a Master when it comes to speaker rebuilding.I will not even think of anyone else.
Good luck. I am sure that you will not be disapointed.
