MonteR Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hello, Can anyone give me information on the AR58b speakers? I have found some for sale but know nothing about them. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, MonteR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Do a Google search. Sort of a newer/cheaper version of the 3a. Be aware there were 58, 58B, 58BX 58BXi and 58S. Maybe others. I’ve never owned any of them but I think the B version could be nice if the price is right. Probably need new foams and the vinyl cladding is ugly.

MonteR Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Thank you, Here are some photos from the posting. They look really good. Any suggestions as to a decent price to pay? Thank you very much, MonteR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR55 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Below is a spec sheet on the AR58B & catalog page. I once owned the AR48Bs. I gave them to my daughter's father-in-law about 8 years ago & he is still happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR55 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I paid $245 for the AR48Bs about 12 years ago, which would be about $335 today. I would expect that you are going to probably have to pay at least $100 more for the 58Bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 A pair sold on ebay in November for $475. That seems very high to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR55 Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 You have to keep in mind that the seller could probably get $300 to $350 parting it out, so $400 isn't out of line for a pair in that good of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
