Speaker terminals on AR-4X?

I just got an old pair of Acoustic Research AR-4X to play with. But the speaker terminals don't tell me which is positive or negative, there is just the number 1 and 2 above the terminal. Anyone know which is which?
Thanks

A good resource is www.classicspeakerpages.com
