If you wonder what the difference between the AR-4, AR-4x and AR-4xa is, here is a short simple answer: It’s all about the tweeter! The AR-4 is the oldest of the three and by now a sought after collectable made in 1964. The AR-4x is its successor and from late 1965 and 1966. The AR-4x has 2 1/2″ cone tweeters, whereas the AR-4 has 3 1/2″ tweeters. The AR-4x received outstanding reviews and is until today famous for its sound quality. Finally, in 1973, the then AR-4xa speaker had been introduced. The tweeters were switched to the 1 1/4 tweeters used in the AR-6 and AR-7. This review targets the AR-4x and AR-4xa, but the differences to the older AR-4 are minor. The 4x and 4xa are 2-way acoustic suspension speakers in beautiful walnut veneer with the typical white Acoustic Research cloth grills. The speaker was also available in unfinished birch and pine. However, as the innovations of the new 4xa were minor, its higher price caused many customers to choose the older 4x. Also, by 1973, AR had its AR-6 and AR-7 placed in a similar market segment. It is therefore sometimes claimed, that the introduction of the AR-4xa was unnecessary, making the speaker redundant. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR GREAT DEALS ON VINTAGE ELECTRONIC PIECES.
