fury161 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 See picture below. I'd like to find the originals for a pair I'm restoring. I have one but it stinks of smoke but I can make it work if I can only get one. Hi-Res: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 That may not be original. The ones on mine were eggcrate. You could make frames and use speaker cloth or try foamspeakergrills.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fury161 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Those are nice and that is certainly an option. At this point, if I can, I'd like to get as close to original as possible though. They have what appears to be a promo/brochure picture over at HiFi Engine which appears to be the same as what I have now. If it doesn't turn up, I'll prob fab some frames and keep an eye open https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/acoustic-research/ar-17.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 One member, I think Glenn (GD70) made nice grilles with beveled frames covered in stretchy speaker cloth from Parts Express. They sort of look like the originals. I did buy some foam grilles from foamspeakergrilles.com and they do a good job but the cost is expensive IMHO. You could also buy your own foam in the correct thickness and try to make your own or try these guys: http://www.speakerworks.com/Custom-Foam-Speaker-Grill-p/cgf1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fury161 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 LOL. Yep. Glenn has already directed me his way and that is the model I will be following as he did an excellent job and they look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
