djcheung Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi Rlowe,Thanks for the pointer.I am just curious about the woofers whether they are original or not.The seller says as far as he knows they are original.What about the tweeters, do they look original ( no AR logo !)?

DavidDru Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Usually I just do a google search for the model and then click on images and look at all the images that come up to see if I can tell visually that they appear the same first.

djcheung Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have been trying but can't find any info on the net.From the brochure suggests that the driver units are not original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxho Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have the 30, but it's not the 30BF. These weren't sold in the US, as far as I can tell.In mine, the woofer has no ribs in the cone. The tweeter looks similar, but does have the AR logo.

ra.ra Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 My first thought is that it was part of the BX series. This pic shows the 25BXI, which looks mighty similar to yours, just a tad shorter. I think there was also a 33BX, 44BX, etc. Not exactly sure which were two-ways and which were three-ways, and I believe many of these models were available only in the Euro market.http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library/acoustic_research/post-classic_series_1981-19/post-classic_series_picture_2/ar25bxi.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlowe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 After looking at ra.ra's post, and having another look in the Library, I think I will have to change my "suggestion" ;-) . Could it be the AR28 BXi http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library/acoustic_research/special_sections/ar_uk_related_information/brochures/ar_uk_bxi_lsi_brochure/ar_uk_bxi_lsi_brochure_pg7.html#previous-photo http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library/acoustic_research/special_sections/ar_uk_related_information/brochures/ar_uk_bxi_lsi_brochure/ar_uk_bxi_lsi_brochure_pg10.html#previous-photo 25 - 8 inch woofer - Large (relative) Dust cap 28 - 10 inch woofer - Small Dust cap, in picture.

ra.ra Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Excellent sleuthing, Rlowe, that looks like the correct model to me. Now, about that woofer ...... hmmmm, it doesn't look quite right - - cone and dust cap appear different from the catalog view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidDru Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah, the woofer looks like the 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
