Guest SteveG Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 A very interesting development. As the link below will show, a pair of AR-1 speakers has sold on EBAY for $1,500. These are clearly of historical significance and collectable for AR buffs. But this is quite a price. I recall someone commenting earlier amazement that a pair of LST's in mint condition sold for $1,525. These AR 1's almost matched the price and one woofer didnt work, the other needs foam. I wonder if anyone has a reaction. I wich I had a few pair of original AR-1's !!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1349314671Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 There's one born every minute IMHO. I am not sure how great they sound, but $1500 is a lot, unless you want to have bragging rights on the rare AR-1s. I would rather not have to put another few hundred in work into them at that price.LaterChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2002 Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 I understand that when these came out there were a lot of Western Electric 755A's just laying around doing nothing, and these were used as the midrange in the AR-1. A lot of people have taken these out through the years and replaced them with Altec 755C's or other things. I'll bet the buyer was expecting to find a pair of WE 755a's in the cabinets, and didn't care about the woofers. I know I sold a WE 755a on ebay for almost $1400. And that was for just ONE!
