I was just given a pair of R2 speakers. There is very little information out there about these. Does anyone have any experience with them? I could use this size book shelf speaker however I am not sure if it is worth my time and money restoring these. They would both need new tweeters. Also if anyone knows what I could use as to replace these tweeters. I am not finding anything googling the number on the back.

    The R2 was a surround speaker. Move on.

    Yea sorry but not worth it. If you're desperate for some cheap bookies, scour Craigslist and Facebook marketplace or perhaps these would work?
