modern primitive
I bought 4 in nearly mint condition for $15. I donated a pair to my wife's employer's rec room (it's a group home for diabled women) and found that they sound bloody awful when used with a modern receiver but, conversely, quite wonderful when used with a vintage Kenwood Super 11 receiver. With the Technics, sound is very forward with good upper bass but a quick roll off at lower frequencies. The woofer is too big for the cabinet & they would have been much better with a 12" or 10" woofer instead of the 15".
I sold the other pair, which was pristine, via ebay local pickup. The buyer paid $350 and made a nearly 400 mile round trip to pick them up (at 55 lbs per speaker, a good decision.)
If I had more I would maybe put a piece of thin felt in front of each tweeter in order to tame the high end.
