Guest,pdq...no designation on speakers I can see, but they are big, about 2-2-1/2 ft tall, and sound great. They are about 25 yrs old, however. They were not AR's most expensive at the time, but we went into hock for them. I don't know anything about woofers/tweeters and the like, but I suppose the technology has changed a lot since then.

Misophist...lol...you WOULD bring that up. But, tho I'm going blind in one eye, luckily my hearing is still...sound.

I did talk to a stereo salesman today on the phone and he said I'd have to spend at least 800-1000 for a smaller unit that would approximiate the quality I now have. Which is more than I can afford.

Any other input would be welcome.
