Acoustic Research Ar8BX speakers, what are they worth?

[admin_exported]

I have a pair of 'antique' looking speakers, Acoustic research model: AR8BX

Anyone have any clue what they are worth?

Thanks

If they are in perfect cosmetic and working condition (with manufacturer's original box and packaging) then not much really. If they were the AR18s models (in perfect condition) then I would bite the seller's hand off if they were offered for £100. (Put them with a professionally serviced NAD 3020a and have a blast!)

However that sort of condition for 30+ year-old ARs would be miraculous (even with recently - and properly - replaced foam surrounds which is unavoidable even with examples that never left the box.)
