jothompson Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I bought a couple of pairs of AR speakers recently and am not really into vintage equipment. One pair has mismatched mid woofers and tweeters in an unknown cabinet with a nice but not stock X-over. I am thinking it would be better to just sell them or if somebody needs them for parts than that might work. I have played them and they all work. The speakers are using a 9 series mid/woofer ( new surround and dust cap) with a Model 15 tweeter. i dont want to give them away but am not trying to get rich either. Let me know what you think.

jothompson Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I guess it depends on the price. If I sell the woofers alone I doubt I will see much interest in the rest. Did you have a price in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal87bmw Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 The best price I can have them for not sure what you want for them. I have 9s just got them. The lower mids were reconed I was going to try to make back to original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jothompson Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Looks like i am disrupting the etiquette of the site and based on disrupting others i am going to remove the ad, thank you for the interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, you've got some unique one-off speakers here that use authentic AR parts, so your original post is appropriately placed in this section of the forum. Kent's suggestion was merely meant to allow you to keep pricing negotiations private between seller and potential buyer. I recall seeing this thread several weeks ago but can no longer locate the comments I initially posted. FWIW, I really like these speakers and am very curious about their performance. They are beautifully constructed and purposefully conceived, using good quality parts, and they almost remind me of an AR-15 in an AR-4x cabinet. Not my business whatsoever, but unless this experiment was a sonic failure, it's disappointing when potentially skillful efforts like this get picked apart. This project looks to me like it might be an excellent hybrid adaptation, and with a little more patience, perhaps an enthusiastic buyer will come along and take them whole.

JKent Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 jo Sorry for misleading you. Ra.ra is right. Your ad is absolutely appropriate. I was just saying the negotiations could be private. And FWIW, I agree with ra.ra's comments on those speakers. Nice. Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jothompson Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thank you all for your care and guidance. I have a hard time maneuvering in this site and stepped on myself, sorry. i agree with all said. I think I have two sets of gems that I think would be better appreciated by someone else, the AR7 pair and the Frankenstein pair featured in my ad . I just think that they would be appreciated by somebody else who gets true vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, now that you've spilled the beans, you'll need to tell/show us about the AR-7's, too. Am curious to know if you've listened to either pair?

kornut11 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I would be interested in these speakers as is. I kinda need to know what range you are looking to get... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
