Offered today by The Music Room: One pair of AR9LS Speakers. These speakers are coming by way of the son of the original owner. They were passed down to him. Though, he has not really ever used them - they were just stored for a rainy day project. When they came into our possession, they were showing their age. The grill cloth was faded; the foam surrounds were all dry-rotted and the cabinets were dry and had some light scratches. We took them to "Schott in the Dark Speaker Restoration" here in Denver - one of the very best in the business. He refinished the cabinets, installed new grill cloth and foam surrounds and fully inspected and verified the function of all the electronics. These speakers are now in nearly perfect condition. They sound outstanding and look just as stunning.
