Hello Guys & Girls

Need your help with this one as you dont see many well in this neck of the woods im wondering if their a worthwhile investment i have been offered an A03 for less then £50 ?

Any Thoughts & recommendations much appreciated i know their are higher modals in the range..just cant find much on this one....

Not a 'real' AR Amplifier.
They lost their way with speakers and electronics.
The AO 3 was just another integrated amplifier...

I've got one but it doesn't work although it powers up. Not much help I know. They were well reviewed at the time.

I think i'll buy it anyway for the sake of it......looks very nice picking up Friday...

Thanks Chaps

Is their anything you haven't had dude..? I guess the originals are thin on the ground ive always want an AR amp so this will be a start yes maybe a later design but their the same era as my AR20's so might match well...

Ive had tons of stuff Dan, use to just buy everything i could to try it out. Yes they are thin on the ground, they always have been..

The AR 'LST' speakers were the ones to have but again very rare as are the smaller 'LST2'

As well as those wedge shaped things, Cambridge Audio did supply an AR badged {P35} in the mid 80's

The 'Acoustic Research Amplifier' was a real beast.
I wanted one...
