Brand: Acoustic Research
The Acoustic Research AR-17 is a high-end floor-standing loudspeaker that was first introduced in the 1970s. It is renowned for its exceptional sound quality, with a rich and detailed midrange, a tight and controlled bass, and a detailed and airy treble. The AR-17's large cabinet is made of heavily braced MDF and is designed to minimize unwanted resonances, while its front-firing port and reflex design ensure excellent bass response. The speaker currently uses a historic 1" silk dome tweeter, a 4" midrange driver, and two 10" woofers. The AR-17 has been a favorite among audiophiles and music lovers for decades and continues to be a sought-after classic.
