Acoustic research model, AR15 high resolution speakers as you can see by the photos are in excellent condition. These are constructed very solidly, quality throughout.. on the back, there is two banana plug inputs for biamping, if one desires to They are ported enclosures. These feature a 1 inch diamond hardened Titanium Tweeter and Magnesium-Aluminium Alloy Hemispherical Woofer . The only flaw I can see is one of the grills has a tiny hole in the cloth not noticeable unless you look very closely. If you look at the photos, there is a close-up of it, other than that they look flawless. The last photo shows speaker specifications. The weight in the specs is for the pair, they are a little over 16 pounds each .These are also available for a local pick up in Belvidere New Jersey.

The amplifier side is spades will update the picture soon! Foundation Series cables started four years ago when our Lead Designer set out to distill 30 years of cable design into a single cable loom with performance capable of taking on giants at an approachable price. This led to the launch of the industry’s highest price-performance ratio cables, the Foundation Series. Fast forward three and a half years, and we’ve developed new technologies instrumental in making our SRX cable loom the world’s highest-performance price no-object cable line. During the SRX development program, we landed on exploded Pure Silver Air String Geometries, where parallel cable runs based on Foundation Series Air Strings ran in parallel with newly developed technologies that combine to create the SRX cable loom. We have now applied all transferable SRX technologies, namely a new Long Duration High-Voltage Conditioning process and a new UEF Compound, to Foundation SX for a massive leap in performance. We also include Carbon UEF Tuning Discs so you can custom voice Foundation SX to your system or plug and play without custom voicing.We engineered Foundation SX speaker cables to include core Synergistic Research technologies in the purest expression possible. We intended to make a complete loom of cables affordable for audiophiles who otherwise might not take that plunge. The loom effect acts as a performance multiplier within the Foundation SX line to deliver soundstaging, low noise floor, dynamics, and musicality beyond Foundation’s individual price points. Foundation SX distills technology from our highest-performance cables, so you can mix and match them with Atmosphere SX, Galileo Discovery, and SRX to maintain the loom effect when a total commitment to our higher-end cable families is not practical; they’re that good. Foundation SX speaker cables start with Air String geometries comprised of pure silver mono-filament conductors in an air dielectric hand-made in our California factory for high levels of detail and natural soundstaging combined with parallel heavy gauge copper matrix conductors, so you experience low frequencies with extension and control. We then apply a UEF Compound first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom for a lower noise floor than was possible with the original Foundation Series for enhanced detail with enhanced musicality. We then apply the same Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning Process that enables SRX cables to lead the industry with realistic sound stage scale plus resolution and musicality in equal measure. Lastly, we included newly developed UEF Carbon Tuning Discs so you can custom voice Foundation SX speaker cables to your system or run them straight. The choice is yours. Specifications: 4 each Silver Air String: Silver Air Strings: 99.9999% pure monocrystal silver conductor 8 separate conductors Dielectric: Air (sealed) Shielding: Silver Braid -Quantum Tunneled 4 each High Current Copper Air String: Copper Air Strings: 99.95% pure copper conductor 8 separate conductors Dielectric: Air (sealed) Shielding: Silver Braid -Quantum Tunneled SR BoFa Banana and SR Silver Spade Connectors Build Notes: 16 point-to-point hand soldered connections SRX Matrix Shielding: UEF coating with Graphene is applied directly to connectors significantly reducing the noise floor and allowing a purer signal to transfer with less grain providing more warmth and detail Silver Solder: 4% Hand build time: 2 hours SRX Quantum Tunneling: After the cable is completely assembled all connections and cabling are treated with 1,000,000 volts of electricity at specific frequencies and pulse modulations, creating a canal in the conductor material and contact points at the molecular level that allows electrons to flow more freely. This allows the maximum amount of low level information through the conductors and provides for the highest amount of realism in your music Secondary UEF Blue Treatment originally developed for SR Blue Fuses 5 day Burn-in: 2 step process Hand crafted in our California factory

Here’s a nice Audio Research Foundation Series VT80 amp, originally in silver, now in black. I also have what I believe are some original silver trim pieces. If you want those, I will see if i can safely pack them in the original carton with the amp or you can just pay me the extra shipping cost to send a second and smaller box your way. When I got this unit I got in touch with ARC and I ordered the optional tube cage for it along with a new “Certified Matched” factory tube set featuring the SE-spec KT150 tubes. In the two years since, I’ve put just 57.9 Hours on that factory tube set. As you may know, the early units were sold as VT80 with KT120 tubes (as this one probably was). Soon after launch, they went to the larger KT150 tubes and with that change alone, these units became VT80SE tube amps. There was no other difference between VT80 or VT80SE. The SE came by virtue of a simple tube change alone. Here’s how the manufacturer explains it, better than I can: https://audioresearch.com/product/vt80se/______________________________________The big change from the VT80 to the new VT80SE is upgrading the KT120 tubes to the higher performance KT150 output tubes. Everyone should know that we have been deeply enamored with the KT150 as we feature it in all of our other amplifiers, from the VSi75 to the REF 750SE. Its performance is unparalleled and its 3,000 hour average life allows years of uninterrupted listening. The VT80 was originally designed with the KT120, the predecessor to the KT150, but these two tubes are electrically interchangeable and the demand for delivering the VT80 with the KT150 could be ignored no longer.It is important to mention that the KT150 tubes supplied by Audio Research, for all of our products, are tested and measured for quality control and assurance, and are burned in for 48 hours. Then using our “Certified Matched” process, they are hand matched in sets with tolerances 10x tighter than standard off-the-shelf tubes, thus ensuring the finest audio quality possible.With its auto-bias design, the VT80SE can also be used with KT120 or KT150 output tubes and the circuit will adjust immediately when a new tube is installed. Protective fuses are installed for each output tube and can be replaced if the need ever arises. What sonic improvements will you hear with the VT80SE? As our Warren Gehl said, “More music!” Tonal color, detail, dynamic swing and purity are all improved, along with a bigger and more robust presentation. The music gets better, in every way.Aside from the beautiful curves of the KT150 tubes, the only other way to distinguish the SE from the original VT80 is by a small sticker on the rear panel. Nothing else needed to change. The existing (optional) ventilated tube cover can be used with the taller KT150 tube set, there is still sufficient space to breathe. Hear for yourself how good your system can sound with the new VT80SE, it will make a tube-lover out of anyone who loves music.___________________________________________________Link to the manual: https://audioresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/VT80SE-Manual.pdf The sound is phenomenal, as I’m sure you already know about these units. They engineered a first-ever auto-bias system for the tubes in these amps so you can put that little plastic screw driver away from prior AR amps! Used with care in my no-smoking home. You’ll get the manual and original power cord all in the original double-boxed factory carton.Reviewed 6 years by TAS: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audio-research-vt80se-power-amplifier/Serial #49745 for this unit and the box label is included in my photos.
