AR highend equipment by Cello

the cello variation of the ar would be akin to audio note's re-imagining of snell. the originals lacked nothing except a very high price tag.

If I recall clearly, this was the AR Limited line. The products were quite impressive in sound and appearance. I remember a demo of the entire ensemble at Sound by Singer.

Here's a link to some of it: http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library/acoustic_research/classic_limited_series/classic_limited_series_ads/ar_limited_ad/ar_limited_ad.html

Thanks Kal, you hit the nail right on the head. I've never seen any for sale on the used market. Is it in the BlueBook? The ad doesn't mention the Cello connection but I clearly remember reading about one, maybe in a CES report in one of the mags at the time.The 'Spectral Equalizer' mentioned in the ad is simular to what Cello offered, isn't it?

I think only about 150 pairs of the Cello Amati speakers were made. They occasional come up for sale on Audiogon.

As I recall the AR Limited edition pre-amp-equilizer was
designed by Cello. The amp was designed by Dan D'Augisino
of Krell. These were ment to be paired with the AR classic
series of speakers, such as the Classic 26's.
