[QUOTE="afroaudio, post: 495785, member: 15197"] Refoam complete and "fancy" Clarity cap installed in crossover. My AR18LS sound quite decent on the end of my ancient Luxman solid state. First impressions.. (never owned ARs before) Bass is tight and controlled but not very extended - result of the sealed cabinet I guess, mids are crisp and detailed with nice imaging, I find the tweeter can be a bit harsh at times. All in all definitely worth restoring though. I used foam surrounds ordered from Queensland speaker repair in Oz, they feel a little stiff to me but have no idea what the originals felt like as they were lying in pieces inside the grills when I got them - as one would expect.
