So right at the $100.00 mark....I picked up a decent pair of Bose 901 Series IV with Chrome pedestals and working EQ
This Bose Score got even better last week when they sold for $450

Last week, I picked up a pair of Klipsch Heresy's II new in unopened box, for free. The guy also threw in a pair of EPI 100V for free.
Debating on what to do with the Klipsch.
Just took possession of a great pair of Altec Lansing Model 4 in need of refoaming, for $100. Nice cabinets with real Endriana wood veneer. Came in their original cartons. Original owner as well, I think. I hope they can match my current Altec Model 1 speakers that have somehow riveted my attention since I got them. Dunno. It's going to be tough to move the older Model 1's from their throne. Many a speaker has tried, but they are still here since I brought them in from Vancouver, BC. Can't explain the draw of the Model 1 speakers, but I guess that is the true essence of a speaker that assaults your ear in the proper way. I will report back after I get some new foams for the Model 4's and try them out. Meanwhile, I am still happy hunting. Closing in on a pair of Altec Model 3 II that are the bigger brother to my 1's. Let's see what happens. But, man, those Model 1's are incredible! Why do we keep looking? Okay, I know why. Stupid question.
Chartwell LS3/5A's for free when my neighbor across street passed and his kids were cleaning out the house and gave them to me. (Good Karma!) These are almost "10s" and original Chartwells can go for >$3K.
I also got a spare "new old stock" woofer for them.
How is the NOS woofer marked on the back? I would appreciate pictures if you can. Replacements are available but that NOS unit is also worth a nice penny.
I would still take the Chartwells, that midrange is magical to me.
