I am somewhat interested in the AR1s if you would consider breaking the set. While the exact value is very difficult to determine, they do have some value. The company went out of business a few years back and the hi-res series was not picked up by the company that acquired the audio division, so many consumers that are simply looking to purchase a set for their home or home theater will not likely be interested in paying what would be a fairly reasonable market value. Your prospective buyers are going to by mid-range enthusiast or entry-level professional, as these are fairly nice speakers, however it takes a certain love to want something like this as they aren't the cheapest to repair when things go wrong. Did you replace the set already with a smaller setup, or are you still looking? I have their baby brothers, the AR11 mains, AR17 surrounds, and AR4C center which are a little more space efficient.. Perhaps we can work something out. That being said, The approximate retail on the AR1 were about 1200-1400 a pair, and while you didnt mention their age, I would estimate that they are anywhere from 8-4 years old, and in mint. I'm certainly not an expert, but I would expect that you could expect to get around 900 for the mains from somewhat that knew what they are, or about 650 from someone just looking for a set of speakers, depending on your need to sell them. The center channel is a solid, nice sounding center. It retailed for about 400 or so, and I would expect around 250 or 200 (same buyer conditions apply). The AR17s I don't know exactly what the retail was, but If I recall they were around 350 a pair, and would expect about 200/150 for them. I recently bought a pair on eBay for 175. Their bigger brother, the AR15 would net a slightly larger amount, but not much. Feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:jim@onebadpixel.com" rel="nofollow">jim@onebadpixel.com</a> if you would like to discuss these in further detail, or discuss some possible arrangement to move them for you.

I've been trying to sell simply because I don't have enough space anywhere. Do you have any idea what the value on these speakers would be.. they are all in mint condition.

It experiences heavy collisions and dramatically reduces your throughput. If you still want the IOS, let me know, but I have since upgraded to a 2611XM which is capable of handling the 10Mb/s I have now.

To bad dnsstuff has taken the road of commercialising their site, I agree with the host of this site that if DNSSTUFF wanted to make some money just throw on some advertisements in key areas. I am sure with the large volume of users the site generates this could easily pay for itself. http://www.fixyourip.com is a good alternate to some of dnsstuff tools.
