Fisher Stv-873

Generally speaking, any Fisher speaker that starts with ST or STV has a collector's value of zero. They are all mid to late '80's and are pretty ordinary.
Otoh, they do work, and they sound fine. Not high-end, but fine. So, if you find a pair in good condition, $20 would be a fair price. $100 is nuts.

The STV 893's sound so bad,and are made so cheap that they are only worth 330.00 on the bay.I think thats why I keep on buying the Fishers to lol. I have bought a lot and got rid of a lot of speakers,but kept some of the Fishers.Some of them I will be the first to say that they are junk,but some will drive pretty hard sounding great as well at 170 WPC driven.Just my .02

I think the $100 price at Goodwill is to high for the Fishers. But if they are in excellent condition then maybe $30 or so. If you could listen to them.
I have a pair of Fisher ST-830s and they sound good. 3 way system with 15" woofers. 100 watts. BIG speakers. I would not take a $100 for mine.

Well besides the dust caps on the drivers, the enclosures looked great, yesterday anyway. I thought they looked cool, and I always wanted a pair of speakers that had the white pulp/paper cones. I figure they would need some sort of EQing to get the sound stage right, but that's the problem. All of my gear I have now is super good IMO and I don't need an EQ or use one. I run everything flat from the source through the mixer on to all of the amps. So if they need eq in any way I would have buy one. But I hate eq's because of the inevitable phase shift that floats along.
You can't polish a turd, but you can dress it up like a hot dog and hide it in the corner!

That is what I mean about buying something at a thrift store. You never know what you have until you get it home. For me it must be a bargain or I`ll not buy it.
I use a little EQ in all my systems. To me it just sounds better. My Fishers sound very good without it. But I still use it.
