JKent Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’m surprised no one has answered. What makes you think they are AR? I’d be curious to see the backs of the drivers to see if there are any identifying markings. What about the back of the cabinet? Any markings at all? I suspect they are generic ’70s acoustic suspension such as the XAM line from Korvettes. Not bad but not AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giumon22 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Thank u mate. I think they are AR cause I found this plate. unfortunately all the identification markings have been removed from my father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aadams Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 I took the challenge and spent some time searching. These don't look like any AR model I can find. Three items: The drivers are wrong. The woofer resembles those used in Kef speakers and the tweeter is unlike any AR driver in the library; no AR ever had wiring directly into the rear of the speaker; the vinyl covering doesn't look right. These could have perhaps once been ARs but they have been modified beyond recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genek Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 The location of the badge is another bit of suspicion. It's at the lower left corner of the grill, vs the lower right location normally seen on ARs. My guess is that someone stuck an AR badge on a no-name speaker. Or it's an AR-branded speaker from the Audiovox era, which is more or less the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
