AR9LS Speakers - a good buy at $1k


Hi,
I have an opportunity to buy a pair of vintage AR9LS speakers. Although I’m not familiar with this brand/model I was looking for some experienced feedback on whether $1k is a good buy or if I would be better served by buying something else newer. Thoughts/recommendations?
TIA!

If it was a nice AR LST and you can get the drivers repaired if needed I would say OK. The AR9 was not a very popular speaker in it's day and AR loudspeakers were near their end times. There are much better loudspeakers available today. The Bose 901 is not one of them (not a Bose bash, I owned two pairs of them).
