Vintage Acoustic Research AR18S HiFi Speakers – 60 W. In full working order and professionally re-foamed. The mid range, high range and the bass are wonderful, bass is deep, tight and controlled, although very powerful. One of the best little speaker ever. It is thought the NS10 won out in the popularity stakes because of their highly identifiable white cone woofers. The cabinets have few marks and some corners chipped but nothing major. On top and bottom of the cabinet some screws holes witch are filled now. One AR badge missing from one speaker -see pictures.
