Vintage Acoustic Research AR18LS Bookshelf HiFi Speakers. In full working order with new rubber surrounds. Some light scratches on the cabinets- see pictures. The speaker surrounds are made of high quality rubber, pliable, anti-aging and durable. They are very close substitute for surround foams but with plenty of life in them. The mid range, high range and the bass are wonderful, bass is deep, tight and controlled, although very powerful. One of the best little speaker ever. The feedback received for these speakers will best describe them. Probably need to spend well over a grand to get a modern equivalent. Just need to get a decent DAC now. Restored & packed well. Edgar Villchur, the founder of the original Acoustic Research Company invented the acoustic suspension (infinite baffle) principle in 1953, just as they invented the dome speaker. What AR had always been famous for was the neutrality of sound. A good speaker was good with everything and anything, either you play rock or classical music they deliver amazing sound. There is some grain of truth in AR’s motto” High Fidelity’.
