Acoustic Research AR-2Ax Set of 2 Vintage Speakers Cloth Surround Woofers
Please see my pictures. These speakers are in good operational condition and also in good physical condition. If you have any questions regarding these, please ask. All speakers in each cabinet are fully functional. The mid-range and tweeter are original to these cabinets. The woofers were replaced with early AR-2ax woofers that have cloth surrounds instead of the original ones that had rubber surrounds. The original ones would deteriorate, and that is the condition that I found these speakers in – the woofer needed refoaming. So I upgraded the woofers to the version with cloth surrounds. These upgraded woofer surrounds are excellent and the cloth surrounds have been recoated to make them air tight. I really prefer these woofers over the original ones as I believe they move more air and thus provide a more solid bass feel. Just my opinion, but I did have these in a system in my house for the last 5 years, and I enjoyed them very much. With the addition of some other sets of speakers, I have decided to let these speakers go. If you are familiar with AR speakers, you know that they are not very pretty under the grill panel. These panels were not to be removed originally. They are now removable. The tweeter and midrange potentiometers for adjusting the highs and midrange frequeny volumes really need some cleaning. They are scratchy, although you can still use them and they still work. You just have to move the switches around to find those sweet spots. Not unusual for these speakers and the age. The cabinets are in pretty good condition. I have restained them, so they look pretty good. There is one scuff on the side of one speaker cabinet. The cabinets are not perfect, but they look pretty good. The grills are in not-so-good condition. They have thinned over the years and have a few little holes. If I were keeping these, I would replace the grills with some new reproduction cloths that look just like the originals. Overall, a really nice set of vintage AR’s. They are great sounding, and look good. The item “Acoustic Research AR-2Ax Set of 2 Vintage Speakers Cloth Surround Woofers” is in sale since Monday, February 05, 2018.
