I got these for free from the same owner that netted me the ADS 910's, Magnepan SMGs (not working, but physically mint), a Luxman receiver and Mac amp. The Mac & Luxman are sold, I kept the speakers.
I originally passed on the AR's, and after doing some reading about these, I realized they are fairly rare, being made only one year, with unique mids and tweeters to this model. Decided to grab them and save them from the city dump and glad I did.
They are in overall good condition. The cabs need a minor sanding and oiling, no veneer damage. That's a first for me! These are very heavy with nice bracing.
The surrounds are gone, but all the drivers produce sound! I ordered the woofer surrounds from vintage-ar, and need to order the mids surrounds, and caps.
One woofer cone has a warp that I need to figure out how to best straighten out. Any proven methods gents?
Here's some pics.
