DavidDru Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 There is a pair of AR92's being offered here locally for $250. Let's assume they are okay in terms of functionality and condition. Give me your thoughts. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiganpat Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 well, it's a 10" version of the AR91.....same midrange/tweet, and probably better transition between the 10" woof and midrange than the 91's transition between the 12" and the midrange, but you'll give up a bit of the deep diggingthink of it as a more modern AR5....

DavidDru Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Man, little love for the 92's I guess? Pat, Roy C said the exact same thing about it being a more modern version of the 5.Now have an opportunity for some 48's. Fellow enthusiast friend I am getting a pair of Wharfedale W35's from has four of the 48's. Ha! Neither of us know what they are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidDru Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 the 92's are now down to $175. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiganpat Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 how come you haven't bought them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidDru Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Do I need them? Should I want them? I don't like vinyl I guess. Would rather have the 91's. So I just texted a guy that is selling a pair of LST's here on CList. He has them at the ridiculous price of $1800! He said they are heading to the big auction site Tuesday. I asked where he got them and his reply: Thrift store for $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_pro Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Shipping issues frequently can make it difficult to get great prices on certain outstanding, but large vintage speakers.One couldn't come close to the quality of the LST, AR-9, or AR-90 for anywhere near $1800 with a new speaker.At auction, the LSTs usually bring somewhere around $1500/pr in all sorts of conditions.If you've got the money to spend & he's within driving distance, you might be able to talk him down a bit, and own one of the best loudspeakers ever manufactured.

DavidDru Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I know, I know. Most of those "other" system location options already have something in them. (KLH Model 5 in the Master, son has the AR18s, etc).Then there's Klaus that would probably be jumping up and down with joy if these came along near him there in Denmark.

KlausDK Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Then there's Klaus that would probably be jumping up and down with joy if these came along near him there in Denmark. Naa, I don't really fancy the 92, I find them kind of ugly. There's been a set for sale for a long time for around 85 US$ here in DK, they are finally gone of the list.BRgds Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl1856 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Offer $150. They are fine speakers, and are an updated AR5 as others have said, using drivers derived from the AR9 series. I picked up a restored pair a few years ago. I am using my pair in our summer house, driven by a restored Fisher 400 receiver. Not quite enough power but the combination does sound very good.
