In addition to my old AR6s, I've recently bought a pair of AR 58 LS

On the rear panel, I can read "AR58LS UK 00847"

I've not been able to find any specification about: someone could help me ?

Thank you very much in advance

Ciao, Paolo

Can you confirm the driver configuration on the AR58LS that you have: 12-inch woofer, 4-inch midrange and 3/4-inch tweeter, or does your unit have a variation of the Dual-Dome driver like the AR-78? The Dual-Dome midrange and tweeter have the 1-1/2-inch midrange and the 3/4-inch tweeter close together such that vertical dispersion is greatly improved (these drivers try to act more like a "point source" than separately mounted drivers). The AR-58 (US version, at least) had a 4-inch midrange cone driver and the 3/4-inch dome tweeter.

UK means, of course, that the speaker was manufactured in AR's British manufacturing plant (High Street, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, England) and the serial number would be 847.

Tom,

thank you very much for your attention.

Yes, my AR-58 have a cone 4" midrange, and a dome 3/4" tweeter.

These two speakers are mounted on a separate plastic baffle: the front panel is totally wooden.

Instead, the grill structure (the 'skeleton') is plastic.

Sound is good (but not so 'AR', at my opinion), even if a little too bright about mid-high frequencies (no attenuator available).

Have you any other information about ?

Thank you a lot again

Ciao, Paolo

I've still got the manual - what do you want to know?
