Restored Vintage AR-2ax 3-way Suspension Loudspeakers. The early 1970’s Acoustic Research AR2ax 3-way suspension loudspeakers are among the best of the “New England” sound from that generation. Made in Cambridge, MA and Designed by the historical duo of Edgar Villchur and Henry Kloss. Villchur is credited with the invention of the sealed acoustic suspension speaker design. These speakers have been restored and retain most of the original components and maintain that beautiful vintage warm and rich sound that Acoustic Research speakers are known for. The original L-Pad attenuators (level controls) were dismantled and the center contact plate and coil terminal points were resurfaced. The wound wire coils were found in good clean condition. The wipers were cleaned and resurfaced where necessary and the wiper to coil pressure was adjusted. The woofer surrounds have been replaced with high quality foam surrounds. All nominal values of the drivers were measured and found to be correct. The grill cloth has been replaced maintaining the original look and the grills have been reinstalled with Velcro making them easy to remove. The original vintage look has been restored by refinishing the walnut wood veneer and several coats of furniture oil were applied to keep it that way. The pictures don’t do the finish justice. Silky smooth and beautiful grain. Included are Vintage Zenith Model 233 speaker stands with a drawer in each stand.
