Acoustic Research AR18 .. anyone know of them ?


I'm just trying to put together a low budget system for my mother in law and I noticed that she has some AR18s in the house already. Could anyone shed some light on these speakers ... original list price, good/bad and whether they might be worth keeping and perhaps reconditioning.

Thanks Sean

I used to own a pair in the early to mid 80's and they were a decent speaker-I upgraded to Linn Indexes and then to Elipson floor standers. I would think they would be bettered by today's smaller Missions, B&W's or similar budget speakers. Seems to me they were a $250-$300 pair speaker then. I wouldn't pour a lot of money into them.
