We’ve had them for about 7 years. They have served us well, but as he continued in his audiophile journey, he upgraded to Wharfedales. The speakers are in excellent condition, especially for being 30 years old. There are some worn spots, but very slight. The drivers are in good condition. The surrounds are still intact. Only the dust covers have had some slight cracks which he filled with silicone on recommendation from a speaker repair shop. He also included a frequency response graph. This was taken from the listening position in our living room. The room is 15 feet by 30 feet with couch, chairs, rug, and fireplace. This is not anechoic, so your response may vary. But you will notice the dip between 2k and 5k. Could be the crossover or the drivers. The enclosures are extremely rigid and inert and finished beautifully in mahogany. They weigh about 55 pounds each. We don’t have room to store them, hoping to get them to a good home.

Presenting a extra nice example of the highly aclaimed Legendary Classic AR XB Acoustic Research Stereo Turntable. One of the finest versions avaiable with Audiophile upgrades. Installed High Quality internal Tonearm wiring. Upgraded output connecting cable and ground wire. Real nice gloss black plinth with advanced thick raised platform bottom panel. Quality adjustible spikes installed for better isolation. There are also 4 Spike metal resting discs with rubber base included. Damping material was installed to all areas of subchassis surface. There is Grado black / chrome cartridge installed with a big G on the front. Acording the the colors it should be from the PRESTIGE Series. Tracking Pressure : 1.5 grams. I haven at looked at the 2 top connecting pins to determine exact model. Suppose there are colored dots on them to identify which model of the series it is. Carttidge Details off the Net. A Grado cartridge with a “G” on the front and a black-and-chrome (or black-and-silver) body is almost certainly a model from the Grado Prestige Series (such as the Prestige Black, Green, Blue, or Red). The “G” does not stand for the cartridge’s specific model. It is just the main company logo for Grado Labs. Because the bodies of the Black, Green, Blue, and Red cartridges look completely identical, the exact model is determined by tiny colored dots (usually found on the top pins where the wires connect) or the color of the writing on the stylus itself. The model tiers from base to best in this specific style are. Black: Entry-level, great warm sound but an older/simpler metal needle inside. Green: A step up; built to slightly tighter quality rules than the Black. Blue: Offers better clarity and tighter controls. Red: The highest level of this specific black/chrome design. The Dustcover is real nice. The Original clear plastic stylus scale included with the box. All these upgrades brings a already excellent turntable to another high performance level. This may be the ULTIMATE AR XB Turntable. I WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE IT GET DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

If you know you know. Pair of grilles of this speaker is exceptionally rare, rarely any were produced to begin with. Badges are included on both grilles. No torns and holes. Only dust on the back. Fits well on the speakers themselves. Speaker not included, last photo is just proof I got it from the AR Classic Model 26 themselves.

Great pair of classic speakers in very good condition. Maple frames are in excellent condition, no dings, scratches or any flaws. Speakers all function as they should with surrounds fully intact. Foam area around the mids and tweeters have some minor cracks and sealer was applied… Doesn’t affect performance at all. Grill fabric shows minor pilling upon close inspection. These are wonderful speakers that garner excellent reviews. The 12 side firing woofers provide great base response and can fill a large room with excellent imaging. These are pretty massive speakers that weigh about 75 lbs. Each but don’t take up a lot of room. They are extremely efficient though so you don’t need much power to drive them. You are welcome to stop by and inspect/demo these. I’ll even throw in a basic JVC digital receiver and RCA 5 disc cd changer if interested. Owner’s manual included.
