AR 2 xi speakers

Hi everyone, I've just recieved a pair of AR2 xi speakers. They seemt to be in good conditions. I've never actually heard of these speakers. I was wondering if anyone has and if so are they known for a certian part to fail or require any special maintenance?

I've got a "newer" system at home right now. A pair of Athena Technology AS-F2's, a Pioneer VSX712 reciever, and a pioneer dvd player. I know my reciever could power them but would it really be worth taking everything apart and hooking these speakers up?

My hunch is, no. Do it if it sounds like fun to do, but as far as I know, Athena made some pretty nice-sounding speakers. The chances seem low to me that you'll prefer a pair of AR-2ax.

Given the components in the AS-F2's (two 8" woofers) and how well reviewed and regarded they seem to be ... I tend to agree with Tobias. Plus, the AR's will probably need some work to sound their best. If it is not too much trouble ... swap them in ... you never know.
