Roel Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi, i have been offered 4 free speakers, see pictures. I cannot identify them, so that would be the first question. I can keep a pair for free if i refoam all off them. Should i do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Welcome Roel Free is good. AR is good. So I'd say do it. I can't identify the model for sure but I think they're AR-98LS. Maybe some other member can tell you the model. I believe the 98LS is a 12" model with real wood veneer--two features that make me say "Yes! Yes! Yes!" -Kent take a look at these photos. Looks like your speakers Also found this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm pretty sure that you don't want to bother with those speakers. I'll do a good deed for you and come by and take them off your hands. Seriously, GREAT SCORE ! You will need to replace the surrounds on the woofers before playing them.

DavidDru Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 So are they on the ceiling or upside down..... Hard to tell. One of the newer models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlausDK Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 AR 98 LS I'm pretty sure, you need to refoam both woofer and lower midrange. Great speaker, tonegan units (probably), on the very edge of the decline of the classic AR. BRgds Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason4300 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have yet to run into a set of old AR's that weren't worth the effort of a re-foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
