A wonderful turnkey pair, that were so well preserved, only minor details were needed to acoustically and cosmetically restore them. The sound is right on point, exactly brilliant, just as they should sound. I have been around many many AR speakers, and these are a prime example of their flagship should. The functional restoration included the following. Elegant and neatly re-foamed woofers, using the proper AR style large and compliant surround roll. Perfectly aligned voice coils for distortion free bass output to the lowest octave. Restored and working controls, no dropouts or dead spots. Finely sanded and oiled cabinetry, displaying the complex and rich grain in the original walnut veneer. Excellent condition cabinets with some small imperfections. The speakers have been throughly tested for Percocet sound quality. Being a later production pair, the crossovers are equipped with bulletproof Sprauge Compulytic capacities that sound great and do not degrade like the previous wax block caps. The tweeters are well preserved original builds with full output, no signs of degradation. Lastly the grills and badges are original and look splendid.
