The Acoustic Research AR-2AX speakers are high-quality vintage units known for their exceptional sound performance. New caps, controls clean, speaker re-glued. Cabinets look good with some minor issues. Grill ok but dirty. Typically i can part these out for more than i can sell, but hate to do that to these.

Many consider this speaker to be the best small bookshelf ever made. The Acoustic Research AR 4X is legendary for its big sound. This pair sounds as good as the day they were made. I have replaced the crossover capacitors with quality Dayton’s and bypassed the tweeter pot, which notorious for getting corroded and cutting off the tweeter signal. These are both modifications that are recommended to make this speaker perform to its full potential. Cabinets are in excellent condition and the original speaker grills are in fantastic condition and have replacement AR brass badges. Please see pics, you will receive exactly what is shown. One tweeter adjustment knob is missing, but this is nonfunctional with the tweeter pot bypassed. This pair has serial numbers that are close enough to qualify as a matched set. Cabinets have been lightly sanded and oiled and look great. They are just a couple of small nicks here in there, please see photos.

AR Acoustic Research LST-2 vintage speakers replaced tweeters and recapped.

Want to have a piece of audio history? Transparent, clear, open, accurate, natural with super deep lows. Yes all of it! The AR9s are the pinnacle of the companys engineering brilliance. These have been compared to so many speakers from when they were made all the way up to today. They have been completed recapped using Dayton NPE and Poly capacitors and all new surrounds ready to play your music collection. The condition is very presentable but do have some bumps and bruises. I have attached the maximum amount of pictures to help with my description. I have the original owners manual and supporting documents. These are early production type with the heavy grilles, hex screws, silver serial number stickers and AR9 large logos. I cant say enough about these speakers so you just have to hear them for yourself. The only reason for the sale is I have 2 pair of these. I can deliver further if needed but please message me to further discuss. I may also be available to deliver to other mid-Ohio locations too. The item “Acoustic Research AR9 Speakers Fully Recapped” is in sale since Friday, March 22, 2019.
