Factory Original and untampered 1950’s. With original grills & name badges. Vintage Acoustic Research AR-1 speakers. Their whole life was spent in 1 home and was part of a mono block hi fi system. They have been tested and work & sound exceptional, I can see how they earned such an excellent reputation. I Will not open or remove the grills under any circumstances. I was able to inspect the drivers using a flashlight in a darken room, they look pristine, i did notice the the woofer on 1 of them has a flat felt dust cover with the ribbed surround and the other has a black dome dust cover with 1/2 round surround there is also some orange writing from the factory on the cone. There are scratches and scuffs from being slid on the bookshelves they were sitting on for 50+ years and 1 corner has a chip as pictured. But beautiful specimens from the golden age of hi fi.
