I’d refoam and use - these were my very first pair of decent speakers in 1980. But I’m in Wales ......

Which model are they - 18S, LS, BX?

 

[seamaster]

18s, I have a pair of Ruark Crusaders so I don’t really need them.

Thanks. If you are ever in a position to post (at the buyer's cost) please do consider me

I would love to have these if I may. My idea would be to refoam them and keep them for my own use in my study.

“Sold” to Raphael pending collection

Thank you so much William. It was nice to meet you too and I look forward to sorting the ‘speakers out.

Good luck Raphael - I would have loved those to reminisce about my very first pair of ‘proper’ speakers . Enjoy

I know that you mean. I too am looking forward to getting these up and running.

My lucky school ‘hifi’ chum 40 years ago had a pair of AR18s (Technics amp and iirc a Dual T/T) passed on by his bro in law after he’d got LP12/Naim 42/Snaps/110 and Kans. I was round his most Saturday evenings after that; we trawled through 3 big sisters’ record collections, left behind while they were at Uni.

PS my mate is a professional musician and he still uses his Dual/Technics/AR set up!!
