My first speakers were AR4as. They were all I could afford.
I've owned a pair of SL6s and 6sis as well. The SL6s had a sweet as syrup sound that was luscious. There was an awful lot at both extremes that was missing but what was there was as euphonic as anything I'd heard until then. The Si's tweeter upgrade helped in the high end at the expense of a touch of the 6s remarkable euphony. However what it did do for me was to reinforce the need for some deeper bass. Finding something that was as sweet in the middle with more extension on the ends took a lot of hunting.
I still remember both of those models fondly though. Very easy going sound.
