Teledyne/Acoustic Research AR9 speaker pair
This is a pair of Teledyne/Acoustic Research AR9 speakers. They have been well taken care of and kept in original condition, they sound as good as new. They have provided me with 40+ years of wonderful music, but I have recently replaced them with a pair of Vandersteen 5a’s. The cabinets are in pristine condition – the original Walnut veneer has no visible nicks, dings or scratches. I have oiled the cabinets every couple of years so the finish is in very good condition. Note that the veneer behind the grills matches the exposed veneer, not faded like some pairs I have seen. The speakers have never seen a damp environment, so the pedestals are also in excellent condition. All of the drivers are original, including the woofers. I replaced all of the grille cloths – the cheesy silver plastic woofer grille trim rings are long gone. I replaced all of the crossover capacitors with good quality film and electrolytic parts, receipts will be included. I re-foamed the drivers about 10 years ago – the foam surround is in good shape and should be good for at least another 4-5 years. I did not bother to replace the driver trim rings because they are hidden by the grill. The original owner’s manual is included, but I no longer have the boxes or the packing material. Early AR9 speakers did not include the upper mid-range & tweeter acoustic blanket surrounds – I fabricated the ones shown in the pictures from acoustical felt. These speakers have been taken care of and have been kept in original condition – they sound as good as new. They are wonderful speakers and I wish I had the room to keep them for a second system. If you have any questions about the speakers, please feel free to send me a message. The item “Teledyne/Acoustic Research AR9 speaker pair” is in sale since Sunday, July 7, 2019.
