Kuja Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi,I'm sorry I'm bothering you with this. I know that everybody here prefers AR "classic" era speakers, but in my part of the world they are impossible to find...For a very long time now, I'm trying to buy AR9, AR90, AR10pi, AR11, AR3a or AR303... No success. Recently I got an offer for a pair of AR98LS for 390$. Boxes have some scratches on them and the grilles are missing.They are nicely refoamed.I went to listen to them and I think that they sound better than my present AR44BX. I said I think, because this guy has better listening room than me and possibly better amplifier - an old Kenwood L-01A monster vs. my two tiny Missions - Cyrus One and Cyrus III (he is also selling this amp for 900$).What do you think about AR98LS? Is the price he's asking OK?I got an impression that people here don't like much LS speakers...Why exactly?I'm not interested in historic or collectible aspect, I'm just after that AR9 sound I heard long time ago, and these speakers are the closest match that I can find right now.I was also offered to buy AR92, what do you think of them?Other ARs that recently were available here areI need your answer really fast, because I must make up my mind quckly!!!Thanks,Aleksandar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bret Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I just didn't want you to feel ignored.I don't have any experience with the 98LS so I can't comment. The 92 sounds "nice" but lacks the extreme bass extension AR is famous-for.Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
