I missed out recently on a pair of AR9 LSI speakers by Acoustic Research and have been kicking myself. If anyone is near NJ and is looking to unload a pair, let me know. The less I have to do to them, the better :) I have trade possibilities if you are interested!

    You want plain 9 as well as LSI?

    I'm just looking for any really George. The LSI's are the ones I missed out on. I've read a ton on the differences, and talked to many, including you. It seems they are the same quality, but the regular 9's are more picky about placement. The LSI's are apparently more clear on the mid and highs and the regular AR9's have a more outstanding bass.

    Keep your eyes out :)

    There was a pair on Boston Craigslist a week or so ago I was told.
    Forum member ajcllc was grabbing them IF I remember right.

    Thanks for the update! I also saw a pair of original AR9's for 800 on audiogon...but they were in New Hampshire. Thanks for looking out!

    Too bad I'm in China Pycroft....or I would be in striking distance of those for you and I often get down to Eastern Pa. I could've been the New England version of the Lightman Express!

    I think 1500 for those speakers is WAY overpriced...I wouldn't pay that much. Thanks for looking! :)
