These are fully working having been tidied up and tested and sound great. As well as looking seriously retro the Teledyne Acoustic Research AR18S is sought after as it was was used by several well known producers like Hugh Padgham ….artists for whom Padgham has produced or engineered include: Bee Gees David Bowie (Tonight) (1984) Kate Bush Clannad Phil Collins (Face Value, Hello, I Must Be Going!, No Jacket Required, ...But Seriously, Dance into the Light) Sheryl Crow Peter Gabriel (engineer, Peter Gabriel (1980 album)) Genesis (Abacab, Genesis, Invisible Touch) The Human League Elton John Madness (mixing, 1988) Mansun Paul McCartney McFly Mike + The Mechanics The Police (Ghost in the Machine, Synchronicity) Spandau Ballet Sting Tears for Fears Van der Graaf Generator Frank Zappa …and so these speakers have an enthusiastic following! As for this particular pair: - Original protective front grills are present. - Cabinets are better than average but not perfect and have screw holes on the rear for wall brackets as were apparently in a studio back in the day, plus light wear and tear to the finish - SEE PHOTOS (inc pic of the bottoms) - They have two AR 200001-1 (561 8051) woofers fitted, one had a small hole in the foam which I patched from the rear (with foam, see photo). Other than that the foams are good, they don’t need re-foaming (doing so adds wear to the cone each time….). They are the square magnet type, making them original early AR (later on AR apparently sold “pattern” replacement woofers with round magnets). - Replacement foam woofer TRIMS in black acoustic foam, see photo - One tweeter has a dent, the other has a small glued repair but sound fine, see photos. Postage quoted is UK zone 1, for highlands/islands and outside that area please contact me.

Vintage Acoustic Research AR18S HiFi Speakers - 60 W In full working order with new rubber surrounds. Can be connected with banana plugs. Some marks and scratches and the veneer is a little bit broken in some places but nothing major. - see pictures-The speaker surrounds are made of high-quality rubber, pliable and durable. The mid-range, high range and the bass are wonderful, bass is deep, tight and controlled, although very powerful. One of the best little speaker ever. Over 300 pairs of Acoustic Research Speakers restored and sold. The feedback received for these speakers will best describe them.Exactly as described, great neutral sound and excellent value for money. Probably need to spend well over a grand to get a modern equivalent. Just need to get a decent DAC now.Very nice speakers expertly packed by the seller.Excellent speakers. Incredible for age. Restored & packed well. Interestingly the AR18 was considered a great alternative to the Yamaha NS10s for nearfield monitoring duties in 1980s pro studios. It is thought the NS10 won out in the popularity stakes because of their highly identifiable white cone woofers. The Acoustic Research AR18S evolved from the AR/6/7/18 series with an upgraded ferro-fluid cooled tweeter and what AR eventually described as their Universal woofer coupled with a New Look. AR had realized that the previous series were at best utilitarian in look, concentrating on the sound believing that the average buyer was more concerned with How It Sounded over what it looked like...but it dawned on them eventually that the female in the house wanted a speaker to be a piece of furniture as much as a purveyor of sound. They put their heads together and came up with the S series designed to look and sound nice. They succeeded. The 18S has been described as a Nearfield Monitor. And so, over the last twenty to thirty years the 18S has achieved cult status as the must have of bookshelf sized. Mr. Edgar Villchur, the founder of the original Acoustic Research Company invented the acoustic suspension (infinite baffle) principle in 1953, just as they invented the dome speaker. What AR had always been famous for was the neutrality of sound. A good speaker was good with everything and anything, either you play rock or classical music they deliver amazing sound.
