Fully restored Acoustic Research AR5 speakers. Completely overhauled, including all 4 potentiometers disassembled and properly cleaned (work perfectly), brand new audio-grade polypropylene film capacitors installed in both crossovers (the originals drift way out of spec), and correctly refoamed woofers. Nearly consecutive serial numbers as well. Cabinets have been completely restored, beautiful walnut grain. Brand new replacement grill cloth and both original badges are present. Speakers sound sublime, and are especially perfect for jazz and classical; non-fatiguing and very relaxed sound that early AR’s are famous for. Some listeners prefer the AR5’s over the AR3 and AR3a’s due to the 10 woofer that matches up with the AR5 tweeter and midrange very nicely. Price is firm, please do your research if you do not know what these speakers are. No expense was spared in this restoration.
