The AR-LST is a lot of speaker.
The AR-LST (Laboratory Standard Transducer) was developed to fill the needs of audio professionals, but its unsurpassed quality has made it greatly desired for quality home music systems.
The LST incorporates a total of 9 drivers mounted on three surfaces to provide extremely broad dispersion. And while it normally has flat frequency response, a front-panel knob may be used to select any of six pre-determined frequency response curves to suit different listening requirements and personal preferences.
You can get a great AR speaker for less money, if you're willing to settle for a little less speaker. If you've listened to the LST, you won't.

-----------------
Lab measurements and listening tests confirm that this is an outstanding reproducer, second to none, in linear wide-range response and low distortion. The performance of the LST is truly prodigious. Its response was found to be among the most linear yet measured for a loudspeaker ... virtually no directivity or coloration could be detected throughout the LST's range.
It actually can handle power peaks up to 553.8 watts without distortion, while furnishing an output level of 112dB, which attests both to its ruggedness and dynamic capabilities.
HIGH FIDELITY.
I soon found that these speakers tell me more about the sound than any others I have ever listened to. They represent for me a reference standard that is the present day state of the speaker art.
STEREO & HI-FI TIMES.
In a word, it is superlative. To my ears, it can reproduce music from recordings with a verity I have never before experienced. For me, it is now the system against which others must be judged.
