  1. An old but worthy topic being that the Teledyne AR-9 is one of the best vintage speaker systems made ,and a topic of which I have alot of experience with. 1st is that everyone has been using the MSRP of when the speaker was 1st released vs the more accurate final production year cost , to which I vaguely remember being over $2,500 . Next we should look at the AR-9s competition ,it's main challengers from my memory was the Polk SDA line source speakers ,the McIntosh XRT line arrays ,the JBL line ,the Altec line & Klipsch line ,Maggie's weren't a big consumer item that early on ,the speakers that could equal or beat the 9s we're few and in the absolute top price bracket of $10,000 and up at the time , to which using common sense accounting for inflation we would be looking at well over $15,000 in 2019 money if not over $20,000 when we consider they could actually make the same design a true 5 way speaker capable of soaking up 2,000 watts or better .
