Cabinets are in Excellent condition as is original grill cloth. These pass audio but need some work. A rebuild of x-over will make these a great pair. The serial numbers (XXX32, xxx33) are consecutive numbers which is very rare and almost unheard of. This means that these speakers. Amazing, Rare, Super Rare! Acoustic Research AR-2A are baby brother to the AR-3A and just as desirable and incredible. You will be extremely. Happy with look of these, beautiful. Also I have an AR amplifier and a set of AR3A available, cloth surround woofers. Audio passed through AR speakers just sounds so sweet. These AR2A speakers were in an audiophiles house since new. He had them built into a console where they were carefully removed and found with no damage to cabinets. The sheen you see on front wood is representative of overall condition. When I saw consecutive serial numbers I realized the rarity. I did re-glue the original ID papers to back as they were lifting and I didn’t want them damaged. Grill cloth and emblems unmolested. Running audio thru the lo freq works but hi’s are iffy and need work (probably x-overs). Typical problem with these speakers usually the wire wound pot. I don’t think a better pair exists as for cosmetics and surly not with matching serial #’s. This item is in the category “Music\Audio Media Accessories”.
