First off, it is very very easy to blow out the mid and high freq drivers. When I was working for the Laserium (light shows) we used 24 of these in one area (Cleveland) and I seemed to always be replacing drivers. I have also had experences with people I have known who have had AR-11s and replaced the mid and high drivers. It would seem that they are over rated for the rated speaker wattage. Look out! 2nd, opinion. I myself do not like the sound of the dome tweeters they use in the AR-11s. Too harsh for my tastes. I used to wear headphones during the shows to save my ears! Please note that AR3as seem to fair much better. Bill Kanawyer {ucbvax,amd70,ihnp4,cbosgd,decwrl,fortune}!dual!bill
