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

I landed a free pair a year back--unloaded them immediately. Agree with all they sounded pretty bad. The two 4" drivers are made of very brittle paper, if they are not ripped already, will most likely disintegrate soon. Do not touch them, even lightly. I believe the front grill is not removable, so you may not be able to see them. The pots on the ones I got were all corroded up, so you may want to inspect them. If you really want to hear these, replace or bypass the pots, but I would not bother. Somewhat harsh, but true...
