Please see the 5th photo for detailed photo. Both speakers produce sound. One tweeter and the two bass woofers have no signs of damage. One tweeter has a depressed cone and two cracks in the paper. Below is the original listing. Original Pair of AR-1 loudspeakers. I have connected both speakers and they pass audio without any issue. Upon visual inspection, one speaker has a slightly different size tweeter than the other. You can see this in the photos. The speaker with the smaller tweeter has the original AR-1 info paper on the back of the cabinet with serial number: 14692. Unfortunately, the info paper on the back of the other speaker has been ripped in half and, therefore, the serial number is unknown. I assume this is also an AR-1 but possibly a variation? Cosmetically, there are a ton of scratches and wood is chipping in multiple places. Definitely in need of refurbishing. Both speakers have the original AR cloth grills but they are loose at the edges and are falling apart. Both speakers have the original AR speaker badge logo intact. Please inspect the pictures for a more accurate depiction of their cosmetic shape. If you would like more photos, please ask.
