Ever hear of ACOUSTIC REFERENCE STUDIO MONITORS? I have acquired a "Goodwill Special" of Acoustic Reference Series1201's, circa 1995. They say Made in the USA but some research I have done states they could be UK. One link took me to Acoustic Energy, but they politely denied ever having owned this company. I have managed to hook them up one at a time to an old system from (excuse me) Radio Shack. The speakers are NOT located where I have any good equipment. However, they have a powerful sound and can be adjusted for mid-range, etc. I wish to get any background I can get and some idea as to pricing for insurance. eBay only had two sales; one just under $100 for a pair and one about $150.00. One seller claimed he had paid close to $450.00 originally. ANY links, news, comments are welcome!
