Help identifying these AR speakers?

[sgt123frog]

Hi everyone. I have these AR speakers that I need a bit of assistance getting more information about. On the back the label seems to say "pi by AR" model 4, but when I google this it comes up with a completely different looking speaker?

Welcome to CSP

I'm no expert on AR models but my guess is these are white van specials. The label looks crude and was anything ever marked "Made in EEC"?  The EEC was around until 1993 but I think anything manufactured in a member country would have the actual country of origin marked on the label.

These are yours you said. Maybe pull the drivers and see if there are any markings on them. The woofers need a re-foam so they have to come out anyway. I'd also take a look at the crossover.

Maybe some other member knows more about European ARs or the Pi series (I only know of the 10 Pi). Stay tuned for more input.

These have come up before but it was a Pi One. Yours are a Pi Four.

Interesting. So maybe legit? Only thing I would add is that the EEC was pre 1993, not post

Thanks for the responses all! I managed to find someone on this forum who owned a pair in the past. No detailed specs, but it seems they are a solid set of speakers. I will probably spend some time and money refoaming them and see how they sound. Thanks!
