Here is a link to an AR18 refoam kit. There are many out there as the woofers were used on many different AR models, including your bookshelves there.
The instructions, glue, and everything else needed come with the kit. There are even video's you can watch on YouTube for refoming old Acoustic Research speakers. The long and short of it is, get an Exacto knife or razor blade, cut out the old surround. Clear out all the leftover gunk on the basket. Then carefully glue in the new surround. Some people mount the surround in backwards (the surround going in rather than out), but I think the out looks better and likely is better, although I have no way to prove this. It's a pretty simple job really and something you can certainly do yourself.
The tweeter on those is not the best, but they are a great great start. They will certainly give you that warmer hi-fi sound.
Congrats on a great start. That Thorens and Marantz should last awhile. What model Thorens and Marantz?
