A local seller is selling these speakers listed as an AR8. I can find absolutely no info on this speaker whatsoever. It looks like a real wood veneer and the drivers look decent. Does anyone know if these are legit or white-van imposters?

 

Thanks!

the classic line from what I've heard are great speakers, but weren't big sellers
