A good buddy up in Washington state sent me a pair or very cool AR's, as most of you you know I wanted to join the Polk club, but it wasn't meant to be yet....

Cubdog knows Scott aka 'Dingus' very well, I now have a pair of AR Connoisseur 40T's in the house, Very neat 3-way's with very nice veneer cabs, tri-ampable, though I'm not going 'there' yet lol!! :eek:, Kinda scary with the plates for the bridge (you have to have them lined up just right or lose some output from the tweet/mids).

The pics are from Scott

The sound is very smooth, lot's of detail all around the instruments, great soundstage, a tad bright for my ears, a touch of the treble on the Yammie pre brings it down, I don't think there's alot of these around, they do sound nice in my room, just sharing...:biggrin:
