Restored & packed well. Interestingly the AR18 was considered a great alternative to the Yamaha NS10s for nearfield monitoring duties in 1980s pro studios. It is thought the NS10 won out in the popularity stakes because of their highly identifiable white cone woofers. The Acoustic Research AR18S evolved from the AR/6/7/18 series with an upgraded ferro-fluid cooled tweeter and what AR eventually described as their Universal woofer coupled with a New Look. AR had realized that the previous series were at best utilitarian in look, concentrating on the sound believing that the average buyer was more concerned with How It Sounded over what it looked like...but it dawned on them eventually that the female in the house wanted a speaker to be a piece of furniture as much as a purveyor of sound. They put their heads together and came up with the S series designed to look and sound nice. They succeeded. The 18S has been described as a Nearfield Monitor. And so, over the last twenty to thirty years the 18S has achieved cult status as the must have of bookshelf sized. Mr. Edgar Villchur, the founder of the original Acoustic Research Company invented the acoustic suspension (infinite baffle) principle in 1953, just as they invented the dome speaker. What AR had always been famous for was the neutrality of sound. A good speaker was good with everything and anything, either you play rock or classical music they deliver amazing sound.
