genek Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Your best bet is probably to check the completed listings on eBay to see what similar items have sold for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightjacket Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 What about a Guitar Center? They buy vintage gear, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Also.. those aren't the classic AR speakers we deal with here and there could be some confusion for potential buyers because apparently whoever owns the AR name has also recycled model numbers. Do a search for "AR 9 speakers" and you will find pictures of walnut veneered acoustic suspension (not ported) behemoths with paper cone drivers.

Stimpy Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 49 minutes ago, straightjacket said: You mean mine are fakes? Not fakes. Just not the original classic versions. Redesigns and reissues from a much later time period. So unfortunately, your AR's won't have quite the resale value of the more well known earlier models. Also, I agree with the other post, check eBay. But only look through Completed Sales. That'll show what prices auctions actually achieved when sold. Good luck.

lARrybody Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have never seen those AR 9 and AR 15 models. Here are my AR 15 speakers from the Teledyne Acoustic Research period (1967-1989). Since 1989 three different companies have owned the AR brand. Voxx is the current owner and basically makes inexpensive portable bluetooth speakers of which I do own a pair. Would like to find more information on your speakers because they look interesting. With a center channel speaker they may make a nice home theater system. Other companies have also recycled model numbers over the years. I have two Pioneer PL-570 turntables, one from 1977 which I value over $800.00 and one from 1991 I doubt is worth 1/8 that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightjacket Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Any info would be greatly appreciated. Does having the serial number help? I'm sorry I am so unfamiliar with this topic, hence why I sought out all your expert advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Weather Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I realize this post is at least a couple of years old, but claimed "AR300" is actuually an ARS 300 powered subwoofer. Crutchfield used to sell them: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-KPexE7TsbdM/p_058S300B/Acoustic-Research-ARS300.html The AR15 turned up in one Ebay listing that doesn't look to have gone anywhere yet.
