Free for any regular here. But collection only from London N2 (as no suitable boxes).

Acoustic Research AR4 speakers in rare pine finish. Size: 10 x 19 x 9 inches

I was given these by a neighbour. I did a light restore on the wood (0000 wire wool, Howard's Clean 'n Restore and Wax). Was going to do the caps, speakers sounded very good 'as is' so left that. One tweeter seems to be a replacement, but can't tell them apart acoustically. bass/mid drivers could do with a clean (easily done).

Need the space so free to a regular. These go for silly money normally - check out hifishark (https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=Acoustic+Research+ar4) for example.

Check out this link (https://www.vintage-speaker-review.com/2012/03/acoustic-research-ar-4xa.html) for history of the AR4 speakers.

Actually I also have empty AR4X cabs (to practice on) and xovers which are also free. Huge 'Sprague' caps.

This is prompted by the need to declutter as we hope to move in November/December.

Anyone for a free Dual 515? Believed working (but needs small tlc to pitch wheel) but will be tossed out if not taken.
