Guest elberon Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi,Have any of you seen an AR-5 cabinet like this before? The drivers look right but the outside front edge is much different than the ones I own. The baffle board looks like a different material also. What do you think?

What do you think?The pictures are of a European-style AR-5, built in either AR's Holland or England facility. European tastes were very different, and the classic US-style cabinet was not considered viable. The components were built in Norwood, Massachusetts, and shipped to Europe for assembly there.--Tom Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elberon Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks for your response. Would you consider this version a sonic match for a US made version of the same time period with the same woofer, tweet, and midrange? I have a US AR-5 orphan with what appear to be the identical drivers and off-line arrangement of the tweet and mid. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
