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 Acoustic Research AR18S evolved from the AR/6/7/18 series with an upgraded ferro-fluid cooled tweeter and what AR eventually described as their”Universal” woofer coupled with a”New Look”. But it dawned on them eventually that the female in the house wanted a speaker to be a piece of furniture as much as a purveyor of sound. They put their heads together and came up with the”S” series designed to look and sound nice. The 18S has been described as a” Nearfield Monitor”. And so over the last twenty to thirty years the 18S has achieved” cult” status as the must have of bookshelf sized. Edgar Villchur, the founder of the original Acoustic Research Company invented the acoustic suspension (infinite baffle) principle in 1953, just as they invented the dome speaker. What AR had always been famous for was the neutrality of sound. A good speaker was good with everything and anything, either you play rock or classical music they deliver amazing sound. There is some grain of truth in AR’s motto” High Fidelity’.
