These speakers are in overall good physical and working condition with few scuffs and scratches from normal use and age. The tweeters, mid ranges, and woofers are not dented in. The cabinet grill-cloth molding and grill cloth itself were different for the standard AR-2, but the end result conformed to specifications by AR, and sounded exactly like the factory version.
