Really nice sounding little speakers, very musical. I've had a couple of pairs.

I think they’ll be good in my little room ( second system)

They are a bit too vintage for me. Classics, though.

Perhaps for me too , I’d probably blow them up at some point, a bit of moby blasting out . Might stick with the Ojans .

If I recall, all the AR range at the time had a 100 watt rating (presumably on music signals?). They have rot-proof doped fabric cone surrounds and no ferrofluid to gum up the tweeter coils. The original 'everlasting' speaker!

I think there's only one capacitor in the filter and that may be well past its best if original, so a new one will probably be beneficial.

Nice , I do like to get stuck in. These have the cloth surrounds and the seem to have what looks like bitumen on them .
No splits or any damage, even the grill covers are intact.
