Coming back into the fold.....

Closing escrow on these Monday. Minty, one owner and ten minutes from the Rancho de No Concerno. Plus a Velodyne HT sub to go with it.

Man, less than two months and I’ve rectified two of three biggest mistakes I’ve made in audio for a pittance of what it should have cost...I gotta think George Grand is looking out for me.

    Pics....because it's happening. AR9's are hard to find for a reason.
    Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

    I LOVE the AR9...I owned the 9Lsi's in the mid 80's and regret ever selling them. Congrats man! Who knows, when I retire next year I may begin my quest....

    Haven’t picked them up yet....pics forthcoming.

    Funny thing is, I never thought I’d beat the price I paid for my last pair. I was wrong.

    Well, I apparently spoke too soon....apparently the seller has had a more lucrative offer after we came to terms.

    So, we'll see....

    When I lived in Germany I owned AR9's, AR58's. AR38'S AR18's. Every body was into Bose 901's and JBl's, I preferred the AR's. After I got out of the service and stayed for 14 years everyone wanted the AR9's and when I decided to move back to the states, I sold my AR9's I hated that decision but they were to big and expensive and would of costed a fortune to ship back. To tell you the truth between my 2.3tls and the AR9's it's hard to pick a favorite Acoustic Research had some great speakers back in thier glory days. I hope you can outbid the other offer cause those 9's are sweet.
