For Sale is a set of 4 Acoustic Research AR-2 ax speakers, perfect for rebuilding / restoration. This was left to me by an elderly neighbor who is relocating to Florida. He is the original owner and the other vintage components have already been spoken for. It was most likely used in a Quadraphonic system which is why he had a set of 4. Unfortunately I do not have any equipment to test for functionality – it should be working but will probably sound poor due to the deteriorated foam and old pots which are not smooth. These are finished in Oiled Walnut veneer and the enclosures are in very good to excellent shape – no significant dents or scratches on visible surfaces. The grilles and velcro are intact and in excellent shape. There is some personalization on the back of the enclosure. Due to photo limits in the listing, please feel free to request more photos as you need as I tried to post the most important ones. The item “Set of 4 Vintage Acoustic Research AR 2ax Speakers Ready for Restoration” is in sale since Monday, January 25, 2021. This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Vintage Electronics\Vintage Audio & Video\Vintage Speakers”. The seller is “ironybound” and is located in Newark, New Jersey. This item can’t be shipped, the buyer must pick up the item.

ACOUSTIC RESEARCH SPEAKERS AR-4x Vintage Pair Oiled Walnut. These AR-4x speakers are highly regarded and sought after mid century speakers. They sound and look great for their age. Serial Numbers are: FX-108350 and FX-124850. Cabinet measurements: 19 x 10 x 9 Very good cosmetic condition with original drivers all working as they should. The high frequency control pots are just a tad gappy and work but will need to be cleaned at some point. The top and bottom end panels have their share of scratches in the finish. Please see the photos. The grille of one of these is still attached quite well with no attempts to remove it. The grille front on the other one had been removed at some point (not by me). The grille fabric on both speakers is in very good condition with very few stains. New owner may want to re-cap the cross-overs. I simply do not have time or the proper tools to refurbish these. Acquired at an estate sale. Check out my other items. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. Turnaround time depends on availability of cartons and packing materials in order to properly pack the item to avoid damage.
