Acoustic Research AR-28B loudspeakers

This group of speakers - the AR -28b, -18b, and 8b - exemplify a fundamental belief we have held through nearly three decades of acoustic research. Listeners whose system options are highly restricted by budgetary considerations need not be deprived of true quality sound. These B-series acoustic suspension speakers use long throw woofers with energy absorbent diaphragms damped to an extremely low Q. the bass stays tight and clean, even at 100 watts of power on the 28b and 18 b, and 75 watts on the 8b. For added protection during peak power surges, the 1-1/4-inch high range drivers are cooled with magnetic fluid and fitted with S-Shaped lead outs.

A special feature of the 28b is a new 8-inch woofer that produces remarkably smooth frequency response in the mid-range, the critical aera for vocal reproduction.

Acoustic Research proudly presents three types of loudspeaker systems and one great sound.
