RE: What do the original AR-2 speakers sound like?

I would stay away from AR-2's...they have a very blah top end, and as others have posted they are rather slow sounding overall. AR-2AX's were an improvement, but still the top end leaves a lot to be desired.

The only "bookshelf" sized speaker from the vintage era that really ever floated my boat was the Bozak B-313. It does not go as low as the 302-A (It is essentially a 302-A in a smaller enclosure) but it is way more lively sounding than any KLH or AR speakers I have heard, the bass is more detailed, and the Bozak midrange is to die for. But- the top end is still nowhere near what a modern speaker can deliver.
