I remember seeing in an industry trade magazine (not a consumer mag like Stereo Review, High Fidelity or Audio) called High Fidelity Trade News in 1974 an ad by AR introducing the "AR-Pi/One" to their dealers.

The speaker never came out in the US under this name. Instead, it became the AR-10Pi, and was part of the Advanced Devlopment Division (ADD) series of products introduced to the US market in March 1975.

It's difficult to tell from this ebay picture if it's a real AR speaker, and the dimensions don't relate to the 10Pi's (this one is considerably smaller if the given dims of 320mm 190mm x 180mm are accurate).

I don't know for sure if AR ever marketed a speaker with the "Pi" name (other than the 10Pi) in the UK.
