Fantastic set of hard to find AR-5 speakers in unusually great condition. While the AR-3a gets most of the attention, some feel that the 5s are more the sleepers in the AR vintage line. Same tweeter and mids (known for their mid-range driver) with a 10 vs 12 woofer but with plenty of low-end punch. The cabinets / finish on these is basically perfect. Not any blemish worth mentioning. They have had all caps and pots replaced recently by Freeman-Tuell in Dallas (the original pots are a common failure point), the grills are removable (vs stapled in) with velcro attachments, and the woofer drivers have been refoamed and resealed.
