AR2 AR-2 Speakers Acoustic Research Grilles look nice NOT TESTED. I will not test them for fear of issues and I won’t be able to take the grilles off either. One speaker is missing the badge. These are hard to find speakers. On knob missing on the back see photos. Over 60 years old, so condition is to be a bit rough on the cabinets. Grilles look in good shape.

AR-2 Acoustic Research Inc Custom Shelf Loudspeaker System Early 1960s Pair RARE. Vintag Adam Frans Van der Meulen. OPEN TO ALL OFFERS! This set of speakers is coming directly from an estate built in the 1950s. They were custom fitted into a built-in stereo cabinet that ran the length of the livingroom. They have been sitting in that cabinet since new and easily slid right out. For certain these have always been together, but only one still retains the original label, which has the serial number B48272. Unfortunately I have no way of testing these. Assuming they do work, as they had never been taken out of the estate. Adam Frans Van der Meulen. Measurements: 13 3/4″ H x 24 1/2″ W x 11 3/4 D. Get Images that Make Supersized Seem Small.
