The Acoustic Research AR-2xa Speakers are a vintage audio classic known for their high-quality sound. They are the European version of the 2ax not available in US. With the thin-line euro cabinet front edge profile they look different than the 2ax’s. They take a different sized dark colored grill. I have no idea if anything here works. You get what you see in photos. I thought because of rarity someone could use parts for restoration. Cabs are nice but have definite flaws. I took photos of all the flaws. The chipped mdf around the one midrange is bad.
