  1. I have attached some pictures of the original grills. The frames are plastic. The cloth is brown and stretched over the frame. You will also notice that a red trim is used. Also attached is the front cover of a folded 'original' brochure (I will have to email the 'unfolded' files as they are about 4Meg in size).and the second brochure version. It will show the AR9LS and 98LS with walnut veneer on the front panel. Regards Mark 1305.txt 1306.txt 1307.txt 1308.txt 1309.txt 1310.txt 1311.txt 1312.txt 1313.txt
  2. Hi Aleksander, Yes, I have the original user manual and brochures. The front cover photograph on the brochure is really impressive. I will scan them this week and email to you. I still have the original boxes and packing material. Regards Mark
  3. Hello Aleksander, Your refurbished AR98LS's look superb! I have two pairs of 98LS's. I bought the my first pair in the early eighties. I was advised by AR in the UK then, that I was the first owner in the UK. The sound then and now just knocks me out! I would never part with these speakers. I bought the second pair last year as 'spares'. At the time I was concerned that if a problem with the dual driver should occur that I had spare parts. Do you recommend the upgrade of the crossover to the 'I' version? I read elsewhere in this forum that someone fitted a switch enabling the 'I'mprovement to be enabled / disabled. Now that I have seen your 'new' speakers I will now refurbish my 'spare' pair. I intend to keep my originals as originals. They look like new. The foam surrounds have not been replaced (yet) either. I agree with posts in this forum, that we don't hear enough about the AR98LS's. They as close as you can get to the AR9LS, although I have never heard them side by side. A few weeks ago I was at a friends Hi Fi shop. He demonstrated to me some Danish speakers made by Dali. They sounded very nice. The first pair cost £1800, the second pair cost £6000. Would I replace my AR98LS with the Dali's?, NO. Not even if they were given to me! I forgot to mention that the electronics feeding the Dali's were made by Linn and Naim. I was advised that the Linn CD player alone, cost £12000. Regards Mark
