I had these when they are AR branded back in the late 80s/early 90s.

Remarkably good sounding speakers for the size. Great for taking with
you on the road as well. You used to be able to order 12v adapters and
clamp mounts as well. I was always surprised how balanced they
sounded, as well as the level and quality of bass out of such a small
setup.

Good tip. Didn't know these were still available.

BTW, there have been some smaller versions that looked about the same
from AR and/or Advent, so anyone who wants these should make sure they
get the full-size versions shown at the above URL. I don't know if the
smaller versions sound as good.

These are quite solidly built as well. Shipping wieght is 22lb and
each one feels like it's made of lead.

I've never seen the others that you mention.

The wedge shape alsohelps if you have to put them on the floor instead
of on a tabletop. You can have them projecting at 45 degrees and get
some additional bass reinforcement.
