Gorgeous Original AR-4ax Speaker System. First off these have the most beautiful real walnut veneer cabinets I’ve ever come across in an AR-4ax. They are so close to perfect with only a few signs of wear if you look hard. Original grill cloth and brass emblems. The original drivers are also fully functional and the system bench tested for weeks. I disassembled the pesky tweeter level control pots, removed all oxidation, applied the number one brand of contact cleaner, Deoxit 5 and reassembled. They are now smooth with no treble dropouts. I used a foam gasket to install the woofers back to the cabinets. Read the history (see below) on these and you will learn they were amazing when they first came out as they provided ample bass from a relatively small acoustic suspension enclosure at a fair price. First versions were introduced in the 1960’s – wow! Bottom line if you are a collector or simply want the best AR-4ax speakers, these may be your speakers. The extra cost is a bargain! However, the basic AR theme of great bass in compact enclosures probably reached its zenith with the 1964 introduction of the small AR-4, an 8 version of the AR-1 and AR-3s twelve-inch system, but in an enclosure barely 1/3 the size of the AR-1 and AR-3. 1965 saw the debut of the famous AR-4x with its vastly improved new 2 ½-inch tweeter, resulting in a system that spanned from 55-15kHz at ± 3dB on axis! These smaller AR speakers brought true hi-fidelity sound to hundreds of thousands of people, yet they sounded very similar to their bigger brethren. Like the AR-3 at the high end of the scale, the budget-priced 4x had no real, true competition for years. No charge to safely pack your item. If you are not in the U.
