Vintage Ar-6 Acoustic Research Ar6 Speakers Early New Foam Surrounds
These are a pretty rare set of speakers. I have had these for quite a while and finally made time to test them and put new surrounds on the woofers. Specs can be found below. When i first got these i found one tweeter was not working and the surrounds needed replaced so they went on the back shelf for about 3 years. I have been searching off and on for an exact match but are rarely come up and i have missed a few. I researched these quite a bit and found that several other models of AR had the same tweeter but the wire terminals were on the rear instead of the front but were otherwise exactly the same. So i bought a pair and replaced the one that was not working and still have the other. The good one and the bad one is included with the speakers. If you want me to install the other new one i will so they are matching and i will keep the other original one. I have installed new surrounds without damaging the original dust caps and they work perfectly. Bass is great and the highs are great also. The pots were scratchy so while i had the woofers out i sprayed the pots and they are free and do work but still do have a few small dead spots which may clear up with some use but do still work well. Cabinets do have use and a few minor scratches and one small chip. Grills are original and look great but again are used and from the 70’s but no tears. Badges are intact and in great shape. Just a side note while researching these i found out that 24 AR6 speakers were used at the royal opera house in copenhagen, denmark along with 6 AR-LST speakers. Maybe this is a set from there, never know. The Acoustic Research AR-6 is designed to achieve the maximum performance available in a speaker of moderate cost. An indication of the success of the design is the unusually accurate bass response and lack of coloration of the AR-6, even when compared to systems that are more costly. The most unusual characteristic is the woofer, which has used the parameters of voice-coil size and length, magnetic circuit, diaphragm weight, and suspension to yield maximum theoretical performance. The high-frequency speaker in the AR-6 is a 32 mm (11/4 inch) design built especially for the AR-6. Its small size provides outstanding dispersion even at very high frequencies. The 178 mm (7 inch) depth of the AR-6 adapts it ideally to shelf placement. Type: 2 way, 2 driver loudspeaker system. Recommended Amplifier: 100W (maximum). Bass: 1 x 203mm acoustic suspension. Tweeter: 1 x 32mm cone. Dimensions: 305 x 495 x 178mm. The item “VINTAGE AR-6 ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR6 SPEAKERS EARLY NEW FOAM SURROUNDS” is in sale since Friday, June 29, 2018.
