Hi, for sale is a single used A R Acoustic Research 8 inch woofer. It has had a replacement surround installed at some time but I don’t know when or who did the work. Not the cleanest surround job but the speaker sounds as it should. To the 48 continenta USA states only.

These are in excellent original condition. Both the speakers and the grills are in great shape with no significant blemishes and only minor scratches and superficial scuffs from moving and storage over the last 7 decades! These are very sought after and near mint ones demand much more! Open to reasonable offers! These came from the estate of a dedicated professional local audiophile who cared for these and kept them in a temperature and humidity controlled room. He owned a local audio shop in Brookline MA for many years! A well known guy. One of the most sought after and best sounding speakers AR made. Gorgeous wood finish and grill fabric combination, a classic. All drivers are in perfect working condition and have been thoroughly tested through the frequency range. They are hooked up to our counterpoint/parasound system and sound incredible. The woofers have been re-foamed in order to ensure another 20+ years of use. As is known with these – the potentiometers are a tad finicky, but do work fine! If you ever wanted to replace them, they’re easily found online.

Serial Numbers: 3A 02579 & 3A 02582. Production Year: 1967 (First Year). Condition: All original, never serviced, grilles never removed. Cabinets: Nice condition, a little work could make them excellent. ? WHY THIS PAIR IS EXCEPTIONAL. Serial numbers 3A 02579 and 3A 02582 place these speakers among the earliest AR-3a’s ever produced – from the very first year of production (1967) – and only 3 digits apart, confirming they left the factory virtually back-to-back as a true matched pair. The switch from the desirable alnico-magnet woofers to ceramic woofers didn’t occur until serial numbers in the high 28,000s (late 1969). These speakers, at 02579/02582, almost certainly retain their original alnico woofers with cloth surrounds – the most sought-after configuration among AR-3a collectors and enthusiasts. PROVENANCE & CONDITION. Grilles have NEVER been removed – completely unmolested. Never serviced, recapped, refoamed, or modified in any way. All drivers original and fully functional – they sound great. Cabinet conditions are nice, could use a little TLC. This is not a restored pair. This is not a “good for its age” pair. This is the real thing – a time capsule. ? ABOUT THE AR-3a. The Acoustic Research AR-3a U. Patent 3,033,945 is widely regarded as one of the most historically important loudspeakers ever manufactured. Introduced in 1967 by Acoustic Research of Cambridge, Massachusetts, it pioneered the acoustic suspension design and set the standard for high-fidelity speaker reproduction for a generation. It was the reference standard in studios, universities, and audiophile listening rooms worldwide. Located in Sioux City, Iowa. I’m happy to provide additional photos, serial number close-ups, or answer any questions. Serious buyers only please – this is a firm price reflecting the exceptional rarity and condition of this pair.

Thank you for looking at my shop! Hope you have the best shopping! Appearance: Dirt and scratches present. As this is a used item, there are scratches and dirt from use. The previous owner had the unit professionally cleaned for corrosion and crackling. However, some crackling remains due to age-related deterioration in the attenuator, etc. As shown in the photos, the connections around the unit on the front of the unit are protected with tape. There is a chip in the corner. The label on the back of the unit reads 10/73, so it is believed to be a late-model AR-3a manufactured in October 1973. We cannot change an address after the order has already been placed. Packages:Box or envelope and Bubble wrup. We provide valid Tracking Numbers for all orders. If you have any questions or issues, we are at your service. We can’t not reply gifts or unreasonable requests such as declared amount.
