These AR3a speakers I have owned since I was in my twenties. I had many years of complete enjoyment listening to the best years of music in my life time; that is now known as Classic Rock -Zeppelin, Ten Years After, Tull, Beck, Cream, Allman Brothers, Santana, Deep Purple, King Crimson, I could go on forever. As time and life went on, these babies wound up in storage. Finally decided that I should sell them and to my dismay, found that storage was not good for them. The cabins are in very good condition but the grills need replacement and one of the AR3a logo is missing. Check out the pictures and make your own determination.

One of the mid range speakers has a small tear in the paper.

Minimal use but due to age the foam has become fragile to touch and needs to be replaced. Pretty straight forward job with tons of tutorials online. Still sounds surprisingly good the way it is. Original owners manual is included.

Acoustic Research AR-3a speaker set. All drivers are in working condition. Tweeters are correct spec. Rear level potentiometers work. As far as I know the crossover capacitors are original. Cabinets have an oil rub finish and are in very good condition for their age but do have a few dings, etc. A previous owner did engrave information in the backs of both cabinets. Rear paper spec sheets are in good condition. Grill cloth and badges are in good shape, grill frames are replacement plastic instead of the original pressboard. Please see pictures for full cosmetic details. I currently have these wrapped in towels and put away so requests for additional pictures may take me a little time. I will try to answer any questions in a timely manner.

Vintage 1960’s AR-2 a speakers. You know you want them! Please don’t miss this listing… IF YOU LIVE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI, IT WILL LIKELY BE LESS. I’M WILLING TO MEET UP WITH YOU…. I have given you many more photos below so please scroll down. These AR speakers are a 1 owner pair. They have outstanding drivers behind those grilles. The AR2a’s dont show up that often. Great speaker and a tremendous value when compared to the skyrocketing AR3 pricing. Capture the AR sound for much less. These clearly started life as “unfinished” cabinets from AR when new. The owner finished them with some tinted varnish. He did a great job on one… The other, not so much. I’m guessing there was something like oil on the cabinet or in his mixture. The cabinet sides are smooth to the touch….. The finish applied to them is dappled. Both speakers were tested and both play. But as always with AR speakers, they of course need new pots for the mid and high frequency controls (Crunchy). You wont have tweeter and mid sound until you tend to the potentiometer controls. This is standard operating procedure for AR speakers. I’m not going to remove the grilles. But I do wish I could to show you the condition of the drivers. Looking through the grille cloth with a flashlight I see that the ribbed surrounds on the mids are still shiny black. No dust or corrosion on the baskets. The tweeters and woofers are beautiful. These are definitely worth your time. I’m going to let the photos do the talking on this one. Examine all the high resolution photos below. Last note that the owner added feet to the bottom of each cabinet (see photo below). I removed them but I didn’t toss them. Nobody will pack speakers better than right here, no worries. Pro packing is my specialty – examine my feedback. Please study all the photos below. C’mon you know you want them! Condition is VG- or better. Wear and tear from the decades. Please examine photos and ask any questions. Overseas on this item IS ACCEPTED…… Listing is for 30 days. Finally land some AR speakers! Item is described as completely and as honestly as possible. I mean this in the strongest terms possible. The item “Vtg ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR2A AR-2 A SPEAKERS SOLD AS FOUND AR AR3 BEST PRICE” is in sale since Monday, August 6, 2018.
