Description

Beautiful original pair of Acoustic Research AR-2ax acoustic-suspension speakers, one of AR’s classic vintage loudspeaker designs from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

These are genuine AR-2ax speakers with their original wood cabinets, cloth grilles, rear level controls and surviving Acoustic Research factory labels.

The AR-2ax is a highly regarded classic 3-way acoustic-suspension speaker, known for its natural, warm sound and especially strong performance with vinyl and vintage analog equipment.

Features:

• Acoustic Research AR-2ax

• Matching vintage pair

• Classic 3-way acoustic-suspension design

• 10” woofer

• Midrange and high-frequency drivers

• Rear MID and HI level controls

• Original wood cabinets

• Original-style cloth grilles

• Original AR factory labels/documentation

• Made by Acoustic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts

Condition:

Good original vintage condition. The cabinets show normal age-related wear, scratches and marks, including a visible ring mark on the top of one cabinet.

Both speakers were recapped and restored in the last few years by a pro and sound incredible.

A fantastic pair for a vintage hi-fi system and a great match for classic Marantz, Fisher, McIntosh, Dynaco, Sansui and similar equipment.

ALSO AVAILABLE — COMPLETE VINTAGE HI-FI / VINYL SYSTEM

I’m selling the rest of my home audio setup as well. Additional components are pictured in this listing and are available individually or together as a complete system.

Also available:

• Marantz 2220 Vintage Stereo Receiver — $695

Classic 1970s Marantz receiver with the iconic illuminated dial and warm vintage sound. An excellent pairing with these AR-2ax speakers.

• Rega RP1 Turntable — $415

Excellent belt-drive turntable with a brand-new cartridge/needle.

• Record Player / Audio Stand — $60

Dedicated stand for the turntable, receiver, records and other audio equipment.

• Crosley Record Cleaning System

COMPLETE PACKAGE — $1,250

The AR-2ax speakers, Marantz 2220 receiver, Rega RP1 turntable, audio stand and Crosley record-cleaning system are available together for $1,250 — a substantial discount compared with purchasing the major components individually.

I am also selling a substantial personal vinyl collection, including vintage jazz, classic rock, soul, singer/songwriter, indie/alternative and a large amount of modern popular music.

The records are separate from the $1,250 equipment package but are available individually, in groups, or as a larger collection purchase.
