Does that mean this will turn out to be a stealth marketing thread? Not impressed.

No, just an information that these realy good Speakers will be available again to Listen. Nothing more ...

The Project was developed here and in other Forums worldwide. Thanks to all contributed!

Nobody knows what will Happen .....
 
I bought the upgraded 050 stands direct from the factory a matter of months before they folded. I don't know who I was talking with, but we had a long chat about the hifi world, and his financial woes. He mainly dealt with one man band hifi dealers who were often better at setting up a LP12 than running a bank account, and ARC probably folded due to dealers paying too slowly, or not at all. A great shame, as they had plans for some great sounding new products.
 
Ready for Bristol .....

I'm listening to a pair of simple ARC 050s, and marvelling at your commitment to the cause :)

By the way, the ARC 050s was not simple!

It used the same driver I'm reconstructing now ...... only a little bit cutted.

Professionel experts from today well known loudspeaker chassis suppliers told me, that a speaker with TS-Parameters like the 050 can't work. :D:D:D

:cool:
 
Spoke today with a well known supplier of loudspeaker components about our project. Surprisingly they were very interested. They also delivered parts for the original ones ....
