Acoustic research AR2a / Heathkit AS-2a midrange

[Giorgio AR]

I publish the photos of the AR midrange used by the original AR2a and the Heathkit AS-2a clones.
The speakers are identical in both versions, the container baskets are also the same.
The differences: presence on the AR basket of thick masonite (not present on Heathkit)
Insertion of 8 fiberglass segments behind the cones of the Heathkit midranges (not made by AR probably not to increase production costs).

The first four photos are of the Heathkit, the next three photos show the midrange AR
